Transmission Oil and litre?
Hi guys, I am a brand spankin' newbie to this forum. I have a 1996 Fto Gpx 5spd manual. I need to know what sort of transmission oil I should be using, and also, does anyone know if the engine is a 2.0 or 2.4. Any help would be really appreciated.

Okay, thanks.
Now, I have taken from another post that Redline 5w30 is the way to go in regards to engine oil, that's fine...do-able. I can't find any information on transmission oil though, and also, I need to know what oil and fuel filters I should be using. It's frustrating as most company websites don't have FTO in their search engines!

Doesn't have to be redline.. but if you can justify the cost & don't mind paying that much for it, then Redline is really good ($170 for 4L)milspec5R wrote:Okay, should that be Redline stuff as well?
I just got some Royal Purple to go in mine & it is supposed to be really good too ($40 per L)
You could try something like Nulon, or Castrol or something if you want to pay less, but I haven't really heard / read much about them

Redline priced it @ RRP $138 for 4 Quarts (just under 4L) when I called last week..
The cheapest I've found is Burson's @ $139 for 4L..
