Thanks Dave....
Before asking a question now I use the search button.... as if you dont everyone seems to tell you to use the "SEARCH" button.

Neither were the rest of us! The quickest way to learn is usually the Search, as you don't have to sit there waiting for someone to answer your question!

Motul 300V 15W50 in my sump and Castrol Syntrax in the gears, they seemed to get the most recommendations when I was looking before my last change. Mine's a GL non-turbo though so I hope the same advice applies.
Seems to run smoother and cooler (judging by the OE water gauge so who knows really..!) than with whatever the garage were putting in before I chose myself. It's a bit easier to get into 1st while moving a bit than it used to be, the 'box still has its off days though.
Give us a wave if you see a silver MY95 GL around Sheff
Cheers,
Ben
