Which of these two honey pots?

Narrowed down some nice IRd oils to replace the Texaco S5 75W90 GL5 that rave recommends.

Either:
Castrol Syntrax Longlife 75W-90 (Formerly SAF-XO 75w-90)

or:
Silkolene SILKTRAN SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil

Looks like they will both do the job but I have no experience or preference over either manufacturer.

so my friends - which would be your choice of nectar?

We use the Castrol Syntrans in DAF truck transmissions, 80 k between changes. Not cheap, but at least Freelander doesnt take 15L at a time.

had an email from Tim at Opie oils and he said the Silkolene was the better as it had esters in it?! a silicon type compound I'm guessing!

should have added a poll to make it easier for peeps to reply, thanks for input Riverside

the rear secret is to change it yearly on average miles

which would be your preference old bean?

either or just std oil ,theres nothing sophisticated inside like lsd diffs,synthetivs are used to prolong service intervals,some qualities of sythetics dont allways last long and general wear can contaminate oil as well as condensation,making oil not too good a lubricant,reconditiong boxes makes you keener on oil changing rather than trying to make oil last longer

If you click "thread tools" above you should still be able to add a poll. Don't take advice from pudding though... his polls dun't work.

I like castrol. Only coz I liked the advert when I was small.
