paulj1 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi I am going to change my 6 speed gearbox oil and diff oil in the next few weeks I know the Toyota gearbox oil is hard to find and expensive. So what other options is there and where is the best place to buy from? Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.oe Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 For the V160 Gearbox Castrol Transmax Z should be fine. Be careful with the gearbox oil. Only a few oil types mix well with the gb internals. Jürgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
