Does anyone know what grade Oil I need to use in a Getrag 265 gearbox?

Its the conventional box not a dogleg, from an BMW M5 I think...

Cheers.
Pete.

The one I have on the floor poured out red dextron II, its usual for a gearbox with an oil pump to use auto fluid. Stick in hypoid and you ruin the pump.

An old fashioned ATF ie Dextron II but Rover/Landrover spec MTF94 would be very suitable. It is similar to viscosity to Dextron style ATF but optimised for manual transmisions. It was developed to replace ATF in Rover gearboxes.

Thanks chaps, The Rover spec stuff sounds good, will give that a try....
