Is anyone out there using Motul synthetic gearbox and diff oil? What products are you using specifically and what has been your experience. I am looking at (for the gearbox) Gear 300 75W90, or Motylgear 75W90. What grade oil does the diff use? I am assuming 75/90 too.

I am very happy with the 300V for the engine and thought I would give Motul a go at my gearbox and diff. I DO NOT want to hear about Redline.

I have searched and only found vague information re: motul gear oils.

thanks

I have Motul gear300 oil in the gearbox. before it i had castrol in there, and i must say the difference was amazing. Alot of the notchiness went, and the gears feel alot smoother. But i'm goin to go for a better gearbox oil on my next change

Hey there mate, I have an S15 which is about to go in for a FULL service(diff, gearbox,brakes, plugs, radiator etc). I went for Motul 8100 XS 5w-40 full synthetic for the engine, Motul Gear300 75-90 for the gearbox and Motul GEARBOX 80-90 mineral for the diff. DO NOT use Motul FF-LSD if you have the stock LSD!!!! I know this sounds very strange but the S15 manual says to use NON-LSD oil for the gearbox and diff(which GEAR300 and GEARBOX are NON-LSD). I think FF-LSD is to be used with lockers and mechanical diffs. Bear in mind you could use GEAR300 for the diff also, i opted not to because the manual states the S15 diff needs 80w90, not sure if i could get away with using full synthetic Gear300... would love to try it for the diff sometime.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll reply to this thread after a few hundred kays with the oil change.

Not happy with it.  The cheap s  hit stuff that was in there that was thicker was better.  Or felt better.  Once its warm its ok, but by geebus it takes forever to warm up.

Dave, I had the same problem with the Redline oil, you really had to give the car some stick before the gearbox felt any good or else it was very 'notchy'.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
