Doig Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I noticed another thread said not to use GL5 spec gearbox oil in old triumph gearbox's (It not good for copper bits apparently)Checking what I put in mine last year it is unfortunately a GL5 spec oil.Any GL4 oil I can find is only 80 SAE. Is this OK?What does everyone else use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadyg Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I read somewhere ( Brain fade ) about using engine oil in the gearbox ? Any thoughts on this ?Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The engine oil idea comes from the different approaches taken to overdrives - Triumph alwasy specified EP90, Healey specfied engine oil as I think did MG. Confusion reigns. I've got Redline's MT90 fully synthetic in mine - just lets me brag a bit (it's all bullshit really), I've noticed no real difference apart from it feels less inclined to get notchy when hot!
