  • Gearbox oil ?

    I put some Amsoil in years ago but think this may have been swapped with BMW oil at last service so question is how much do I need and is it MTF I should use? - looks like Opie are back doing Amsoil again

      It is MTF, but I can't remember how much I'm afraid...

        The gearbox fill is also the level so two bottles is enough. Think it's about 1.6litres.

            Regarding the oil, it can be either ATF or MTF (check gearbox sticker). Not sure for 5-speed, but 6-speed 420g getrags came with either of stickers. I've just changed to "correct" ATF for mine and it improved the shifts nicely. Amsoil or redline seemed to be popular, proven choices.
