Just about to change the gear oil in dtrs MG, which is listed as MTF94, this is an EP75w80 but of a specific type rated for MG and some Rover gearboxes. I note that Opie Oils below offer XSS 10W40 as an MTF94 equivalent. Presumably I could use this and use the excess in the Omegas, as it will work out cheaper to do it this way than buying it in 3 separate litre bottles, £10 odd each at the local Rover garage.

Any thoughts?

It also seems strange using what sounds like an engine oil in the gearbox.

Isn't the standard mg gearbox additive sawdust?

Fixed that for you

This must be the only car related issue where no OOFer has a 'helpful' opinion

Sorry, thought it had been answered

I'd read that spec sheet as you do in that it is the correct spec. If in doubt, it's worth a quick call/email to Opie to confirm

[Marks DTM Calib]

Ah, reread that and clearly there is a fault on the Opie oils site as that engine oil is most certainly not suitable

Did seem rather odd to me but with Rover you never know

Thanks Mark, that confirms my suspicion. I've located a stockist of the MTF94 anyway, its just a bit dearer.

Cheers
