   Which one do I need?
   
   Bought it before, but I cannot remember which it is and book is in the car. Pretty certain I have engine oil in the car...don't even ask lol! That's why my box is whining like a cat.

    I know it's in there. I took the driveshaft out recently whilst changing the front springs, it pissed everywhere - really thing and looked liked engine oil. Gearbox oil is thick and sticks.

    It doesn't smell of anything, looks like engine oil and is as thin as engine oil.
