It's a 17mm allen key.

 

The oil you are looking for is REDLINE. REDEX is a petrol treatment.

You can get the 17mm allen key from Halfords- think they call it a gear oil key or something like that. I used Slick 50 gearbox treatment with 2 bottles of Castrol SMX-S, which you can get from larger Halfords. Check out the how-to guide for this- it's very helpful :wink:

 

By the way, some peolpe don't recommend using the Slick-50 treatment, although my gear change has never been better :D If I was going to do it now, don't think I'd use it.

It's alright in the Gearbox as there are no oilways for it to block!
