Which oil do UK owners use for gearbox, reverse box and differential?. Gutsibits say fully synthetic 80W 90 should be used but I haven't found any in the UK (and Gutsibits don't stock it)
Thanks

Gear oil specs
Re: Gear oil specs
Don't see any need for fully synthetic oil, semi synthetic would be equally as good in gearbox and Diff. 1 lt is enough for both.
I use engine oil in the reverse box.
Bear in mind the Guzzi box is made like a tractor.

Re: Gear oil specs
Hi Rob,
I thought you might like this schedule copied from the bike handbook.
For the reverse box this from the instructions from the Nova website: Lubrication is by splash and requires 120ml of any multipurpose ATF or light engine oil: [5W-40].
For the rear unit I use RedLine Heavy as picture.
Hope this helps

Re: Gear oil specs
Thanks both, very helpful. Just getting prepared for first service, hence the request.
I drove tractors for years (first one was a Fordson Major, indestructible) and yes, the Guzzi box is like them.
