I have tried everything (practically), even up to stuff that costs £15 per litre and now I stick to Valvoline Durablend Synthetic Gear Oil. It is around £8 per litre and is great.

I would recommend Silkolene Syn 5 75w-90 or Motul 300 75w-90.

Details can be found here: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/lubricants.htm

Cheers
