I'm not sure if it's safe to use other gearbox oil and is it problems I'm facing really due to the gearbox oil, but I just don't feel good knowing I'm using a different specification moreover with the current gearbox behavior.īelow is some pictures taken from the "User Handbook". I also read that this specification was specially recommended for PSA gearbox and it is based on PSA's specification. At that time, I didn't check what specifications oil they used (as they are authorized dealer and have been dealing with Peugeot for long time), and I also didn't know the exact oil specification for manual gearbox.įinally, when I check it, I notice the one they used for mine was 80W90, and the recommended specification should be BV 75W80. Then, I decided to check on it and also suspected the gear oil. At first, it did not hit me, until sometimes the problem gets very irritating especially when you're stuck in the jam and need to downshift to first gear quickly and avoid other car cutting queue (sometimes I feel like wanted to just SLAM the gear hard). Somehow, after changing, I felt the gear change isn't smooth, it's slightly rougher and sometimes hard to engage into first gear unless I release-and-press the clutch few times and requires a little more force to engage into first. I changed by gearbox oil during my last service before Chinese New Year 2009, it was a 80W90 Rating.
