Hi

Yes, you need an MTF for the gearbox and the best proven options are the Red Line MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers TRX 75w-80 and Motul Motylgear are good alternatives.

Year: 1999
Engine type: 1.6 petrol
Performance modifications: None
Driving style: Mostly short commutes - ~4 miles
Any other information that may be relevant:
What recommendation are you looking for? Engine oil

Cheers in advance.

I would go with either a 10w-40 semi synthetic and give it regular changes, or you can also use a 5w-40 synthetic as a premium choice.

Stick with a reputable brand and all will be good www.opieoils.co.uk/c-6...0w-40.aspx

Ive got the Roland Garros down as a 1.4ltr? Anyway, 4lt should cover it as I think it takes 3.2ltr.

Cheers

Cheers for that. As I understand it, there's a 1.4, a 1.6 8v (90 something bhp) and a 1.6 16v (110bhp) - or so say Parkers.
