Gearoil F.A.Q'S

Recommended Posts

... The sulphur gives gear oils their characteristic smell....

 

Always wondered why that was, the fully synthetic stuff like VW's own more expensive gear oil doesn't smell at all, I guess the engineering of the synthetic does the job another way.

 

Interesting read, hard to find much coherent info on the web about gear oils.

excellent stuff there!

 

I am getting my 02A g/box rebuilt soon and having a Pelo diff fitted. What transmission oil do you recommend?

 

thanks

Yup its a normal Corrado VR6 gearbox. I am just getting it rebuilt as its done 130K and could probably do with a bit of TLC. While it is all apart I am getting a Peloquin LSD and 3.68 FD put in...

 

taa

Synthetic 75w-90, something like the Silkolene Syn5 75w-90 will be happy with an after market diff too.

 

Cheers
