what oil or transmission fluid should i be looking to buy for my early type 3 box ?

thanks darren

bump - can anybody help this feller? I would, but I forgot what I used last...

Manual I guess??

Castrol Hypoy 90 is whats reccomended by VW

Asking the same question Darren, but for a Type 1 1300 manual transaxle. Put in Castrol 80W but got a slow leak!!!

Was thinking of putting a 90W oil in but can only seem to find LSD oils at the manufacturers web sites. None of them mention (Catrol that is) the Hypoy 90.

Where is everyone buying this Hypoid 90W Trans oil from????? Bit of a mystery to me!!!!

Help would be great for both Darren and myself!!!

Marty

Still a mystery i guess.

There's te 80W-90 oils around but wanting to know if anyone has used a 90W oil?

Has anyone use the new Castrol 90 LSX for LSD vehicles??? B/c on the back of the bottle it says'not suitable for all syncomesh vehicles'. They say there's an additive in it for LSD's.

someone must have changed the oil in transmission at some point , i have read through my manual and cant seem to find it , i also have read many oil containers in repco and other places and have also found them saying not suitable for the use i need it for ,
come on someone must know

if i put in the wrong oil its your fault , thats only if you know what oil i should be using . lol come on anyone

Guys
i have not seen a "straight" 80 or 90 weight oil in years.
Just pour in plain old 80-90w gear oil.

Running just about any oil will not "cause" a slow leak, you had it in the first place.
