thanks
can you confim which one lots on that page?

looks like choices are

FS ( I assume fully sythertic?)
https://www.smithandallan.com/products/ ... fs-75w-90/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

SS ( I assume semi synth)
https://www.smithandallan.com/products/ ... ss-75w-90/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

SS I guess is better.

Just looked prices are ex VAT and delivered £7 quid so 5 litres of SS are 30 quid.

so no cheaper than this

The Carlube jobbie is only a gallon container though, not 5l

True but Bentley says ai need 3L for a 091/1 4 speed petrol box and 4l for an 094 5 speed so both are enough

That says GL5

You don't want GL5, you want GL4/5

Oh dear!

My mistake:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMMA-GEAR-O ... 2749.l2649

Thats the one I've actually ordered - serves me right for just searching and not double checking my ebay account.

Thanks Mocki,

The link directly above lists GL5 in the description so I thought I would check back here.

Do I want the lower and high numbers to be as far apart as possible?

i.e is 75w85 better for our box's than say 75w80?
