E46 330ci Gearbox Oil

[Yakko]

Evening Chaps,

Need a non-200 recommendation if you don't mind.

Have got an E46 330ci, need to replace the gearbox oil (manual) what would you recommend? The box is a bit notchy at the moment, and sometimes is a little reluctant to engage 4th.

The forums seem to suggest Royal Purple, do you stock it?

[oilman]

We dont stock royal purple I am afraid, we are not overly keen on it to be honest.

We recommend the FUchs Titan Sinto Fluid 75w-80, BMW approved.

Cheers Guy.

Do you know how much I need? If so, i'll order some (assuming I can get it in time for the weekend?)

[Yakko]

Ignore me, I decided to stop being lazy and found out myself.

Thanks - put the MTL into the 'box yesterday, so far it's looking really positive. Shift is much slicker and the resistance going into 4th has pretty much vanished.

Cheers!

Good news, keep us posted.
