Gearbox Oil Confusion.

According to what I have read on this forum, using anything other than BV 75W80 gearbox oil will result in treacle and stripped cones. If you go to GSF you can get Total BV 75W80 for under £7 per litre (well, it was about 6 months ago, while Peugeot was selling it for about £10).

So, is it still safe for me to use the NFP oil in my synergie gearbox?

I still haven't got round to doing this job, life kind of gets in the way of my good intentions.

As long as it is 75w80 and recommended for Pug/Cit gearboxes then yes.. James is right that anything thicker can make the gear change very stiff in the cold and cause potential damage...

It's 75w80 but recommended for Renault gearboxes. That's where my confusion stems from.

That'll be fine then, no worries at all...
