Hi all, had a spend up at Super Cheap on the their "20% all in Store Sale" for some fluids for my NA6, (hate paying full price for that stuff) Have had some advice on quality and brand of oils etc. before but wanted to check on G/Box oils. I tossed up between the Nulon semi synthetic 75W-90 (Smooth shift) and their fully synthetic version. I went the cheaper Semi-syn. option but have not put it in yet. Should i go back and change it for the full synthetic and pay the extra. Tim

Should be fine as long as it's api gl4 or gl5. (that's for nb 5sp)

Make sure it's for cars and not trucks though, I fell for that one.

I use Redline MT90 75W90 GL-4 gear oil (similar to SAE 5W40/10W40 engine oil viscosity) in the NA6, NB8A and the dakdak.
