Hey all,
without meaning to start a big debate on what oils to use in these gearboxes, I'm about to do a gearbox oil change and wondering how suitable Shell Rimula X 15W40 would be for the BA10/5 in my 504?
It's a diesel engine oil, I don't see any problems, would it be ok/good even? I know some guys on the 505 turbo forums swear by Redline, while us aussiefrogs guys seem to veer the way of caution and use the specified engine oil. Wanting to stay away from synthetic oils, however, to prevent seal shrinkage and the resulting oil leaks.
So Rimula X ok?
