Yesterday was engine oil and today was gearbox.
Went for Castrol VMX80 and the fill plug was a bitch to remove, as I didnt have a suitable ring spanner and there is little room for a socket
Big difference in smoothness changing gears which surprised me as the old oil looked in good condition with no foaming.
My sister owned this car since new and always got it serviced at the main dealer, so now I'm wondering what gearbox oil they use as the Castrol VMX80 is such an improvement.
Also changed the plugs, fitted NGK ZFR5J-11 and that improved acceleration a bit.
Tomorrow will clean the throttle body
