Keith C Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Dead simple this - what oil should I use in the box of my TT6? Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 ONLY use Toyota's own oil. I believe it's called V160 or similar. (certainly the code for the Getrag box is V160 as per the VIN plate). The only other possible oil that could be used is Dextron II (i think). This has been discussed before and apparently if you use different oil it messes with the seals etc. Chris Wilson i believe agrees with this too.

GavinL Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 There is an article on WWW.MKIV.com on this very subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I can confirm now that the oil IS V160. Here is the part number : TOYOTA GEAR OIL V160 08885-01306 (info from www.supraforums.com) Apparently you'll need about 2 litres of it for a gearbox oil change.

GavinL Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I think replacement oil for the manual gearbox comes to around £55.00 according to Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Quote: from Keith C on 5:57 pm on Nov. 28, 2001[br]Fair enough - cheers guys. I'm pretty sure (from memory, could check records) that I put fresh oil in gearbox and axle when Drew bought the car. 95% sure anyway. If so it shouldn't need changing for AGES.

Keith C Posted November 30, 2001 Author Share Posted November 30, 2001 Ooh - if you could please Chris I'd really appreciate that. I was only going to do it as a precautionary thing, but if it's done then there's no point wasting money Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
