j100 your totally right in using atf fluid , but this is known for casing problems, i.e leaking driveshaft seals and gaskets. its best to use ep 80/90 coz this is a little thicker, this is better for older gearbox's

aft has better qualitys and is synthetic there for gives a smoother gear change i have always run mine on it and is been ok for the last 30.000 miles

IT is most certainly NOT ATF

It is EP80/90 gear oil

Many people make the mistake of using atf as vauxhall gear oil has a red die in it.

Ainsley

its auto trans fluid (ATF) that go in em

Not the sort of thing people change often so not usually the thing that people know exact details for. If your just after some transmission fluid for your gearbox just go to a local motorshop and ask them, or ring up a local vauxhall service place

I think it has to be specific gearbox oil? Dont get stroppy over it!

Dave

what i want is the range of viscosity of the gear oil which is suitable for the f13 gearbox !!

ahhh i'll take a stab in the dark and say that if you buy a quality gearbox oil then it will be suitable!!

it does not tell u on the haynes manual !!
:o

or Opel , for that matter.

Dave

get it from vauxhall its not expensive, they sell it in litre bottles and its good stuff. same for oil too

All i know is you need 1.6 litres of oil for the gearbox.

Dave

lemme look in my Haynes...

Surely Vauxhall would know?

Dave

Help !! Someone knows what gearoil should i use for the f13 gearbox ???:boggle:
