Hi Guy;

I need to change my gearbox oil which is 'sealed for life' according to BMW... yeah, right. My personal view is I'd rather be on the cautious side, rather than spend £5000 on a new gearbox for this thing! :D

Can you recommend and supply an oil to replace the 'golden' BMW item? (They want £150 odd!)

The correct oil is: Esso LT 71141

I think I need about 10L of the stuff... but if you could double check, that would be great!

I'm assuming you can either get hold of this or have something which matches it's spec exactly? (I'm really keen not to put an inferior product in it!)

Many thanks,

Richard
