http://www.deloreans.co.uk/forum/viewto ... hlight=oil

OK BUT THAT DOES NOT REALLY TELL ME WICH ONE TO USE
OR WITCH IS BEST

I HAVE A LOOK IN THE BOOK
CHEERS

According to a 'tech' manual I use it quotes;
Engine
above -12c 20w/40 or 20w/50
below -12c 10w/50

Gearbox;
above -20c SAE80
below -20c SAE 75

Hope this helps,
Chris

Either 10/40 semi or 20/50 semi are fine in the PRV.

Gearbox is 75/90 semi or full, however semi is alot cheaper. I used to change mine every year and the difference it makes to the gear change is unbelievable !

Dan

I agree with Dan about regular fluid changes, you do notice a difference.

I use (with what I paid)

Engine: Vauxhall 10w-40 semi synthetic (Trade club price) £5

Oil Filter: Mahle OC266 £2.50

Differential: 75w-90 EP semi £6 (4.5 litres)

Autogearbox: Dexron III (2 Litres) £20 (4.5 litres)
