Oil choice

Post by onthebuses »

Need a bit of advice re 1950 G80S
1) what oil for the gearbox and how much?
2) 20/50 or 50 in the engine ?
3) the best gasket/ method to stop primary case oil slick?
Thanks Gary

50 in the gearbox, if it leaks a lot use a semi fluid grease such as Spherol.
50 in the engine.
Use the new type of chaincase seal from the club.
Have fun (and try not to start any oil threads!)
