Hello All,

Can someone guide me on which gear oil to use?

I have a Getrag 245 ZF (dogleg) gearbox.

There are afew choices;
* Redline 75W90 GL-5 (high performance)
* Redline MTL 75W80 (leight weight)
* Pentoson SAE 75W80

or is there some thing else?

All fine, isn't much of a difference and these boxes aren't top critical on oil imho. Also see the FAQ section on gearboxes: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=13418

Thanks.
