6MT V160 gearbox current oil choices

I had the garage put the Pug oil into my V160, replacing RP Syncromax, at MOT time on the 11th of October. The gearbox felt good on the way home to be parked up through the winter. Its impossible to give any kind of meaningful evaluation over three miles but I got the impression the gear throws were smoother, less notchy. Maybe that is so or maybe its just wishful thinking on a high from another all clear MOT pass in hand.

Just to update this thread a few years in and all seems well with the V160 using the OE spec oil. The gearbox feels good and clunky as it should. I have just ordered in 2l ready for the next oil change in about 7 years, which will likely be in about 600 miles. You never know, after all, just how long these old Dextron II fluids will continue to be available. A new source for everyone, lower cost than the original retailer provided at £14.99/l including shipping.

Update: GFN parts are part of the Greenhous group. The package arrived this morning well boxed, loads of bubble wrap and with each bottle individually sealed into a plastic bag. Quickly dispatched and well wrapped. The ATF is described on the web page as being NOS which it is batch dated October 2019, now turning 5 years old. The last oil I bought was date stamped 2017. This product may not actually still be in production so it could be prudent for V160/V161 owners to grab a couple of bottles while stocks last. For £30 it's got to be a must have on the shelf.
