   Hey all,
   
   need some advice on gearbox oils, i know the recommended is Total BV 75W-80 but that is £4 per litre which worries me slightly, now i have emailed Opie but with no response in the last Month or so!! and i have looked for suitible oil's on their site but was just wanting to know some real life experences with different brands etc,
   
   i have heard that Motul 400v is very good.
