  3. when you changed yours mileage and oil colour
    Cheers
     
  4. The Cup models use different oil in the gearbox due to the lsd, so be careful.
     
  5. Yes its a minefield,was just going to get some Elf Tranself NFP 75W80,as its still in warranty,but not sure its correct.
     
  6. Is it a cup or not? Find out mate or give Opie oils a bell, they seem to be the go to people for oils.
     
  7. Its a cup ,that's why I'm not sure
     
  8. So its got a lsd. I got mine from Opie oils for my rs 250 cup. Give them a ring, if i remember right i think the box takes 2.4 ltrs, but some one will put you right if im wrong lol.

    75w80 GL4 is what you need
     
  10. The oil for the gearbox is Elf Tranself NFP 75W80
     
  11. If Elf Tranself NFP 75w80 is for LSD box what's in non LSD box's......just curious
     
  12. Think it's the same oil, there are only 2 elf. Oils for Renault gearboxes
     
  13. NFP is after 2011, NFJ is very old
     
  14. Changed mine on 265 cup recently at 40,000 miles, tranself nfp. Made a very noticeable difference to shift action. Well worth doing for reasonably straight forward job. Buy 3 litres, put 2.5 litres in mine.

  15. I have the oil to change mine but need a new plug and washer. Can someone point me directly to them? I found some on ebay but wasn't sure it was compatible. Thanks
