Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mmm well i just looked at the castrol website and it states that my 5 speed MK will take 4.4 litres of oil. My owners manual tho dosnt differentiate between the capacity of the 4 speed and 5 speed? Just says M/T 2.7l

And on a second note, i have cold shifting trouble, and ive been told the castol vmx80 might help remidy this? Whats your opinions and anyone know the price of vmx?

There are only 2 oils to use in the box.
80W90 or VMX80.

They are almost the the same grade, but the VMX80 has an extra adative in it that enables smoother cold shifting etc.
Run VMX80 if u have this problem.

The 5 speed holds about 800ml more oil than the 4 speed.

screwy

And just fill it until it runs out. Exact qty not that important

Oh i understand that, but i was after how many bottles of oil im going to need

u will need more than a 4 litre for both gearbox and transfer.
Only one bottle for the box.

screwy

But a 20 litre drum and a cheap hand pump. Use it for gearbow, transfer and front diff. Rear too if not lsd.

mmm dunno if i could afford a 20l drum!
