Default Blobeye STI gearbox oil

I am a bit of a mechanical newbie and about to change my gearbox oil. I have read a few threads and still not entirely sure. What brand are people using.

Cheers.

Hi

Those gearboxes can be a bit fussy, so I'd go for the Motul Gear 300

Cheers

Cheers Tim.

Is there anything in the use of fully synthetic vs semi synthetic oil?

Synthetics are better quality and the Gear 300 is a synthetic.

Use the code SCOOBY for 10% off.

Cheers
