Somebody please remind me what gearbox oil am i supposed to be using in a 1.8 16v D8?
??W?? The last time I couldn't find the Peugeot specified oil anywhere.
I just had the driveshafts serviced and all the synthetic gearbox oil ended up on the floor, which they duly replaced with EP90 and then charged me for the privilege.

According to Haynes (you should really buy a copy!
):
Manual transmission: SAE 75W/80 gear oil
Automatic transmission: Esso LT71141 automatic transmission fluid only

75W80 thats the one, thanks.
My Haynes is at home and I was planning on picking up some oil on the way home.

sh*t get rid of that EP90 asap, pug gearboxes do not take nicely to that stuff, get yourself some total 75W80 gear oil (dealer only unfortunatley) it comes in a 2 litre bottle, just the ammount you need, or some castrol differential 75W80, this is whats in mine as its far cheaper

I just got some Comma 75/80 for the grand cost of £2.40 +VAT a litre! My local parts place have started "accidentally" not putting VAT on too as I have bought SO much stuff there while doing my engine swap I have become very friendly with the desk staff!
