    Default F40 gearbox oil - use castrol SMX-s!

    I've just drained and refilled my F40 gearbox with Castrol SMX-S sysnthetic gear oil to the reduced quantity of 2.4 litres.

    The improvement on a notchy and baulking change is huge, particularly when hot it is now fine and just clicks into gear.

    Highly recommended. Unfortunate that it is so expensive......at £14 litre..
