So 100 percent if i drain as much of the old stuff out as i can through the drain plug.... and refill with the millers ill be all good? The ELF says its for GL4 application and the millers says both GL4 & GL5. Just want to proceed with caution as iv already had this trans rebuild. Thank you

So i have an Megane MK4 R.S. Trophy with the manual PK4 gearbox and torsen LSD. The oil currently in the gearbox is Elf Tranself NFX 75W80. (OEM stuff) I have bought and would like to change it to Millers CRX LS 75W90 Nanodrive NT+ as it offers more protection and is recommended by a company...

Thanks for your comment. Im currently in the process of going through AA warrenty. They will however only replace the bearing thats failed and any other bearings that are subject to pre-mature wear because of the one failed bearing wont get touched unless i pay for them separately. I also have...

Both the PK4 and PK6 gearbox's are known for it. Its common and these are Renault Sports best models to date. The car runs 300bhp standard. There highest BHP figures in any model yet (and there last, Renault has went full electric now)

Well hopefully this is the case for me. All i know is i bought this car 3 months ago with 9000 miles on the clock and here i am having to get my gearbox sorted. Did you watch the videos i linked the in OP? Both oils go through the exact same test. One preforms badly. Maybe its just best i stick...

I appreciate what your saying, however the video's iv sent say otherwise. The Gear 8 oil vs the ELF oil shows that oil is a huge factor when it comes to wear moving metal components. Some oils offer better protection over others. Im not asking oil to fix a bad bearing. The bearing is getting...

This is true but i was hoping to find something that would offer some better protection on the bearings. Extending there lifespan, obviously not oils are equal... I want the best of the best for my application. I dont want to have to deal with the time/money involved having to get the gearbox...

Its not a wheel bearing mate. Iv jacked up the car, spun the wheel. You can here the grinding noise from inside the gearbox. Also its now in the garage. Iv had 3 extremely experienced mancanics look at it. They all said diff bearings.

To be clear Renault suggest NOTHING but "Elf Tranself NFX SAE 75W". There is no suggestions beyond that. There is no viscosity suggestions or guidelines. Its use "Elf Tranself NFX SAE 75W" or nothing. The French do things weird.

I wrote this at the start in my opening post... Its in the video i sent too.... Its the Elf stuff thats now called "ELF NFX 75w". This is the stuff the bearing failed on... Car has 12k on clock. The PK4 gearbox has been around for like 10 years. Its always the same stuff. Elf NPJ or NFK...

It says refer to maintenance service handbook. Something they never gave me when i bought the car. Strange. Some what iv read on the PK4 box no one really goes outside the OEM elf oil. Except K-TEC who are Renault Sport Specialists. People dont seem to tinker that much with gearbox oils.

Not sure what you mean mate. Its got a proper Torsen Limited Slip Differential... I know it acts differently to other diff's in terms of how it works but its still an LSD. Its the "exact same" shape and size as say a Gripper LSD... Both the diff bearings that press on either side of the Torsen...

Millers Data Sheet Here Seems on the Millers CRX 75w80 NT+ it says its for gearbox's "without" limited slip that require API GL4. So its no good. The Gear 8 stuff doesnt mention if its for an LSD or not... Not sure where to go from here as nothing is clear on any of the datasheets iv seen and...

He only did a test on the NFJ which has been the OEM spec oil for my gearbox for years (this is the oil that the bearing would have failed on) however only recently they changed/rebranded it to NFX. The video doesnt give me confidence in the oil i can say that much. I cant test the oil. The...

I have a Megane RS MK4 2019 plate. The car is running the PK4 manual gearbox thats in the previous RS model (MK3) thats known for issues. My car has 10k on the clock recently im getting clicking/knocking at 35mph. Any gear, neutral, clutch in or out. The car drives perfectly and goes into all...
