6 speed gearbox
« on: 16 February 2012, 07:48:20 AM »
Hi All,
Sorry if this has been covered and i`ve missed it, how much oil does the 6 speed gearbox hold and what oil is it, i`ve had both driveshafts out and the box off the engine and lost oil in the process, so i`m going to drain and refill.
Thanks in anticipation Andrew.

WIS states 2.4 lt when completely empty (after dismantling), or 2.2.lt when refilled.
Saab advises the use of MTF0063 fully synthetic oil (which is a Castrol 75W85).

However, I am using fully synthetic oil Redline MTL and the gear shifting  has greatly improved (especially when cold). I have also added some small quantity of Motorkote (an oil lubricant additive). No difficulty in shifting any more.
