Suppliers include people "breaking for spares" on a regular basis, when purchasing spares members should ask a supplier what they contribute to the running of the forum

Busta, thanks for the info, am just a bit cautious about using the wrong grade on a VVT given the gearbox issues. You reckon it'll be fine?

Unless I'm mistaken the gearbox issues are caused by a low oil level due to a leaking seal, not a lack of lubrication relating to viscosity. And a rebuilt R72 gearbox will have shielded bearings which do not rely on the gearbox oil for lubrication. So having a marginally higher viscosity oil will not be the determining factor of your gearbox failing.
