apparently it's not the same as "Engine oil". People actually shared their expereinces noticing heavier sluggish-ier shifts going from 75w85 to 75w90 especially in cold climates. the difference in hot climates might be not very noticeable...

Yeah, all I find arround in FUCHS are SINTOPOID FE or LS which I would'nt put in the gearbox ( FE being GL5 only so no bueno) and LS being GL4/GL5 but with LS additives which are known to cause problems in GL4 only gearboxes from what I read arround including here. Redline is expensive but it...

I went with Redline MT85 on the advice of multiple people here and I can only say : - That Gearbox feels MULTIPLE LEVELS DIFFERENT, it's noticeably smoother even on cold ( 3°C mornings) and the car seems to shift a lot better ( I had a problem with the rear gear which is gone with the...

Thank you. I finally went with the redline mt-85, seemed the best choice and the price difference I'm sure is worth it. Also, I wanted to go with Castrol or tutela 75w90 but it was very thick at ambiant temperature in the bottle than the redline which was a little thicker than water. Tutela...

Ok, Back with some Deal hunting updates. So I've found some : - Ravenol 75w85 GL4 & GL5 for $18/liter with shipping - Petronas Tutela Matryx 75w85 GL4 for $12/liter with shipping. Which of these 2 is better in your opinion ? Petronas Spec is Spot on on the Viscosity and Norm but I don't know...

Good to know for the pds. O really thought it meant something but I understand it's just to show that oil is serious and has been tested. Redline is great but it got waay too expensive. I bought it previously for my i30 hyundai for 16€/quart. Now it's 32€/quart everywhere. Plus shipping.

Coldest is around -10°C during the night.

SO i've done some comparison, Please find below the spec comparison between the Redline MT-85 ( 75w85) and the castrol 75w90. For Oil Geeks in here, how does this translate in cold conditions ? are these noticeable number differences ? For me the pour point being so close between the 2 oils...

THank you for your response, No the oem hyundai oil is expensive here (quoted arround 40€/l from dealer). Castrol Syntrans 75w85 would have been great but i could only find that in 20l jugs. Petronas oil are very rare, but I'll look into that.Thanks ! Do you think the 75w90 will be too...

The thing is, Mannol seems not to be trusted blindly because of previous contradictory claims from them on the norms and oil composition (see threads in here about that). And I am worried thety might not meet either the GL4 or the viscosity the bottle claims. otherwise I would have gone with...

Sorry, FRANCE. I will update the thread with that info, sorry.

Hello Everybody, We just bought a used a Hyundai i10 (PA) 2012 1.2 liter Petrol car with ~132K Km on it and a manual transmission. We want to maintain it before use and so we are contemplating an oil change (especially since these cars are generally used in urban conditions and by young people...
