[QUOTE="Coda, post: 639299, member: 31747"] And just to put another cog in the discussion, a gearbox oil has different requirements and operates under different conditions to the engine oil. On the one hand it has no combustion by-products nor unburnt petrol going into it so it should last longer, but it does have to cope with extreme shearing not quite to the same extent as the engine. I'm thinking now, about the mini's A-series all-in-one engine and gearbox, and the majority of motorcycle engines which do share the same oil between them... especially those with wet clutches.
