I used Castrol syntrax and syntrans on mine. Available from Opie Oils.

I used Royal Purple Synchromax in my 1998 2.8L Roadster, now with about 116,000 miles.

I use Castrol GTX in my engine.

Should it be changed? Mine never has diff or gearbox according to service bills.
Still think I need to see if my electrical drain prob can be sorted before thinking of anything else.

My cars shifting quality improved with the gear oil changed, I also changed the differential oil and the result was reduced gear wine, so for me the answer is yes. Oil gets old and always benefits from a refreshing oil change.

Ah maybe if I got it still next year might be something to look into more garage visits.
No problems with gears or whines mileage now 77 k.
Had regular engine oil changes.
Thank you .

Best thing to do is contact @oilman,Opie oils,very helpful and then you can be sure to buy the right oil as the gear box oil isn't a job you'll want to do twice.

I used Amsoil fully synthetic gearbox oil on the recommendation of our US
friends on Bemmerforums about two years ago, it improved the gearbox no end. I tried to get some to do a change for a friend but couldn't find it anymore. Castrol Syntrans in the diff as mentioned.

This is what I use:

Small case diff- Redline 75W90.
Getrag 220 manual box- Redline D4-ATF (yes that's auto transmission fluid in a manual box, but it matches the spec for the yellow label MFT-LT-1 lubrication applications)

I like the results in both cases.
