    What oil for gearbox?

    Hi all,
    Just taken my propshaft off my 1996 VR4 automatic to have the joints replaced and i need to know what oil i should be topping the transferbox back up with.
    It smells and looks like ep80/90 but unsure... What is the correct oil?
    Sorry just read the how to on change the transfer box oil, but what is SAE 90 (GL-5) is EP80/90 sufficent?

    many thanks Jason

    You've answered the bit I can tell you by yourself!

    I can't answer your remaining question.

    If itdoesn't say that it is GL-5 compatable I wouldn't put it in. You don't need much, so it isn't a very expensive thing to have to do.
