Thread: R380 oil

valvoline duragear 75w85 is a great oil and not too exxy, the penrite progear 75 is also excellent.

I've got Castrol Syntrans in mine. I got the recommendation from 'The good oil' department on here.

Thanks I had Valvoline 75-85, in and at first it was a bit notchy but not too bad now, but at the minute I can't find it in supacheap/repco so need something else as good if not better that can be sourced at these shops!
Thanks ted

As mentioned above, either Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 or Penrite Pro Gear 75W-85.
You should be able to source one or both from SuperCrap or Repco.

Pro Gear 75-85 synthetic doesn't appear to have MTF 94 listed on Key Specification, where as Trans Gear 75-80 semi synthetic does?

Do you still regard Pro Gear as better than the Trans Gear.

I am running Sin Manual Trans I think....need to check my notes but this has been superseded by Pro Gear 75-85.

I now have a quite noisy 2nd gear getting worse, noisier as box heats up and under load.

I'm looking to try something different to what in it to prolong changing out g/box.

Thanks,

Syntrans yes but never use Syntrax.

Syntrans in the R380. Syntrax in the LT 230.
