I went to Autobahn today to get diff oil and was told I would not need it becuase I am changing my gearbox oil it goes in the same hole and that will do both?

Am i wrong in assuming this is total garbage.

I was under the impression the gearbox takes 2.2 litres and the Diff takes a further 4 litres of oil???

Is this correct???

to my knowledge

2.2 for gearbox/diff. one drain hole and one fill hole.

ive drained mine about 3 times with castrol syntrax for manual

maybe they are right then. I have allowed 2.2 litres of Motul for the job but thought I would need some for the diff as well. If its all in one and only takes 2.2ltrs for both, bonus.

yeah roughly about 2.2,3,4

syntrax is roughly $25 per 1lt, tried elf and motul, and it wasnt as good as syntrax...

redline and syntrax is best in my opinion thuogh i havent tried redline...

Yeah because it is a FWD the gearbox and diff oil is the same
So you fill/drain from the same place

Actually, oddly enough when me and a friend did his FTO box, we filled it up with like 2ish litres?

did u drain it properly or pump all the stuff out?? I guess there was some residual

Well, the drain plug is right at the bottom and we left it open till it stopped dripping

Your diff is in the gearbox, like most front wheel drives.
