Smithy16 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi looking to replace the gearbox oil in my Elise 111r. Can anyone advise what may be the best oil to pop in. Thanks Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_laslett Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 A good 75w90 GL4 or GL5 oil Ideally go for a fully synthetic oil with the Toyota box, it will keep the gear change smooth. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanB Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Graeme what would you recommend for the gearbox in the K series cars? And how often would you suggest changing it? Thanks Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dean Dean, Again a 75w90 GL4 oil for the PG1 box. How often depends on what you are using it for. Just a road car and you should be good for 80K miles, if you do trackdays then every 2 or 3 years. On our race cars we change it every 20 hours of use.

Smithy16 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks Graeme. Looks like Redline offer a oil so I will give that a go. Thanks again Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@ndy Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Redline MT90 gets my vote..... Sorted out the crunch into 3rd on the RGB when the gearbox was cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanS1 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I second what Andy has said. Change to this oil and gear change is so much better especially when cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildspark Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I've just bought 5 L of MTF94 because it's the recommended oil for both the PG1 and the Getrag box on our Mini CS. Got it for just over £ 20 delivered which seemed a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little bob Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 What's the current thinking about the best transmission oil for an S1 (CR box, not that it makes any difference?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
