VT 5L Manual Wgn
Hi all,

Need to change the oil in my 5 speed getrag and wondered if anyone knows what tool(s) i need to remove the filler and drain plugs?

If they just need big allen keys do you know the size(s)? Gregorys just says undo them!

Do you think the newer synthetic gearbox oils by the likes of Penrite or Nulon are going to be better for my box than their standard 80W gear oils? ($90ish versus $25ish).

Also thinking of adding the Nulon gearbox additive to try make the shifting less notchy and quieten the whine...any experiences with it?

Cheers

stick with the genuine fluid cos its a fully synthetic blend made by FUCHS, alot better then most off the shelf items bought from retailers
