I use Motul Geat 300. Esther synthetic..75w90
Can't say I see much difference from the previous..maybe a bit smoother..

Renault oil, I have tried all sorts Fuchs, Motul and my gearbox is better on standard Renault oil. I think changing it every year helps as well.

I'm using Redline MTL and I have to admit that the gearbox feels worse first thing in a cold day. I'm changing mine on the next service, probably go with Renault oil as Womble suggested.

Ravenol 75W-90 combined with ProTec EasyGear works very well for me.

Renault oil pants......mine was far better on a fully synthetic oil

Ive just put redline mtl in mine n it has made a huge improvement even when its cold.

Which one Edster? I used 70w-80 and I can't def say I struggle to engage first gear when cold..

Yeap, that's the one I went for James.

Ok cool, how many bottles did you need?

 

[Vladimir]

2,1 L officially.
It will work with 2L sharp.
I couldn't fit 2L after bleeding old oil entirely.
