Ta, its a tricky one as peeps bang on about using stuff at £20 a litre but after contacting SA and West they both confirm that their oil is perfect for ZF5 gearbox.... at £30 something quid for 7 litres delivered it seems a no brainer, whats the catch? Now cheaper than my local factors, who were cheap.
MOT tester always used to give an advisory on my Series 2 and 3.... slight oil leaks? I only worried when they stopped leaking!
Grrrrrr.... real as far as sticking the cheapo stuff in their motors! Its funny that we put any old **** in our daily drivers and have sleepless nights about what to use in our agricultural vehicles? Doing the gearbox at the mo... used cheap stuff from factors several months back with "transfail" and regular trips, expected the oil to be grubby, it is lovely and clean! How is it, however much care I take I always end up with fluid and oil everywhere. Found a bad leak on the front diff, hoping its just a worn plug.
