Gearbox fluid for 6spd??

Postby CrAiG » Tue Mar 29, 2005 1:26 pm

Hi guys

Im going to give my car a good servicing this weekend and want to replace the gearbox fluid, just so i know its done.

So does anyone know what brand and grade of oil i should use for the 6MT transmission on my AE111 Levin, i think they are the C160 'box??

Im thinking that the proper genuine toyota stuff will cost a fortune, so is there anything else i can use that is of the same quality or better?

So yea, brand, grade and amount would be great!!

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

FYI Dosnt matter if you have 5 (4 + rev) gears or 7 (6 + rev). gearbox fluid is gearbox fluid.
