Synthetic Gearbox Oil

jozeff · 02-16-2010, 12:29 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm just coming up to my first service and I was wondering If i should get them to change the gearbox oil to fully synthetic? I remember putting Redline gearbox oil in my MPS and it made a HUGE difference. I have a 130i Manual

Which Redline?

I have used Redline MT90 and Redline Lightweight Shockproof. Depends you track your car or not... yes then latter, but expect some roughness on cold days (which I don't since my car is in a garage).

So in other words, for every day use its better to use MT90?
