I'm not in Autralia.. but I have RP gear oil in my 8.

I think it shifts a "little" smoother. hard to tell.

I put it in about 5k miles. I think this was a good idea regardless, to remove the metal shavings in the gear boxes from breakin.

Cool RedLine....

Used Redline for both, forget what the 'diff-stuff' was called, used MT-90 in the tranny.

Don't notice much difference.

The magnetic plugs where heavy with filings, so I suppose it was a good swap.

THANKS GUYS

So it seems worthwhile to change the oil if for nothing else but to get rid of the magnetic fillings and hopefully get smoother gear shift.
cheers
