Default Oil advice T5 gearbox
Hai,

I think it needs 2.55L ATF oil.
Can anyone advise me on my t5 gearbox oil?
What type of oil is best and what is the best brand?

Thanks!

ford/tremec/borgwarner says ATF, maybe thats good for std cars/road cars. but on high hp/trackday cars i prefer on good syntetic gear oil! I use the elf oil,tranself synthese fe 75w90.

Cn-racing- that is the reason I mix. smoother re delivery not as harsh on shift. hydrodynamics without the water.
