Changing the 'box & clutch in the next couple of weeks, can someone remind me of the correct oil grade?

I forget the grade, but the cheapest place i could find the good stuff was Citroen, with a 'trade/cash' discount.

This be the stuff:

Definitely felt smoother changing gear after I put it in (replacing Comma 75W90), but then you'd expect new oil to be better than 30k mile old stuff. Some people swear that only Total BV will do...make of that what you will!

Total BV fuck yeah
Quietened down my box no end. Just need to get the TD 5th and take some slop out of the linkages and i can change gear and go quieter!

I put that in the Meteor after we converted it to diesel and stuck a fresh clutch on.
Not only quieter Vanny but much smoother changes

Ordered 4 litres, happens to be the same spec as the Clio which is getting new driveshafts next week.
Cheers chappies!
