Noob Q - manual transmission oil and fluid?

[zuihoujueding]

Noted.
isnt additives supposed to be good? without it, it would just be dino oil.

[Dras]

The right additives in the right quantities are good.

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_oil for more info.

Haha it all got too confusing, so I just put in the Castrol Syntrax 75W - 90. Seems to be liking it, but the stuff I took out wasn't too bad so it's hard to tell the difference.
Overall I've gathered that there seems to be no perfect oil for the FTO gearbox? (Well not one that everyone agrees on?)
I'll let you know if the Syntrax gives me issues..

What do Mitsubishi recomend ?

I'd imagine they'd recommend their own stuff

SYNTRAX 75.The only issues is it's a bit stiff when cold If you add Nulon G70 it helps .
