Hi,
Last time I had the car serviced I asked the independent garage to top up the gear oil if neccessary. Since then I have found out that the oil recommended for the gearbox is fully synthetic. If the garage has topped it up with ordinary mineral gearoil will this cause a problem? - as I assume that the box already contained fully synthetic from the factory. Any comments appreciated, thanks, Donal |

the undermentioned website is ran by an oil chemist, and highlights the pros and cons relating to oil, and additives, also various tests were conducted by him, an interesting read.
