Gearbox oil confusion
 

Hi all,

This has probably been covered in the past, but couldn't find anything conclusive by searching the forums.

Would like to check & top up if necessary my quattro gearbox. Am aware of the need for GL4 spec oil, but what is the equivalent to SAE80?

My local spares centre carries EP75W/80 in GL4. Would this be ok?
What do you other quattro owners use?
Many thanks in advance.:tup:

Chip fat will do, as long as it melts when hot, should be fine, a bit of sawdust too.

(Disclaimer - joking!)

Does the sawdust mask any unwanted noise??
:lol::lol::lol:

Yep! Just drain out the chunks of broken pinion gear first, will be quiet as a mouse..:tup:

Cheers, I'll bear that in mind

Any sensible responses out there ??

I always thought it was 75/90 for the box GL4 and 75/80 GL5 for the rear diff.

I've sold my Bentley manual so don't have the info to hand

:lol::lol::lol: misschief is a bugger isn't he :lol::lol::lol:

Misschief.........This week's understatement redefined

I thought it was a simple, reasonable & straight forward request for info.
Little did I know what mood some of our fellow enthusiasts would be in

:lol::lol::lol: you have to spell it as misschief as in missfire :lol::lol::lol:

Hope you get the info you need.

:smilewinkgrin:. Sorted. :smilewinkgrin:
