A thread on CS reminded me to ask this! When I had the meg serviced in December I had the box oil changed for the Motul stuff people have been recommending... However I don't think it likes it, before I had it done the gears in any weather / temp were nice and smooth but I've noticed in cold mornings now the gears aren't very forthcoming - especially changing back down to third. Anyone else had this? I wish I knew what was in there before I swapped it!
Was the motul stuff the same grade as the oem stuff? Shouldn't really notice a change if it was the same.
I've very recently changed my gearbox oil to the Motul 75w-80 and I've noticed it feels quite notchy when cold too...
That most likely my comment on CS I cant seam to get a definitive answer on what oil goes in a R26 box though :/
All gearbox oil will feel notchy when cold ... I've had 3 different Makes all 75-80 in mine now and all feel the Same Just sticking with ELF now easy to get hold of and cheap
I use Daf axle oil in mine partly because it's 75-90 fully synthetic gear oil but mainly because it's free from work. Silky smooth in all weathers and temps here!
