By the looks of it, Castrol TQ DIII is the same as /for use with Dexron III 'boxes...

My question is at £58 for a 20litre tub... or £8-odd EACH for a 1 litre bottle, at my local B&Q I spotted some Castrol TQ DIII reduced clearance at £1 per bottle. ONE POUND per litre! Any issue with using this in my 'box? Opie Oils sell it, and by all accounts it seems fine.

I have read that Fuchs titan 4000 is thought of as oil of choice, but just checking it's not known as the devil urine, or anything

Id empty the shelves at that price....

My thoughts entirely  omnomnomnomnom!!!!!

Easy, stick some in your hair and if it stinks the same and is impossible to wash out then it's good

I saw the same at my local b+q. I took a trolley load! Also got several 5litre bottles of 10/40 and 5/30 at £5 each!!!

Thats a discriminatory comment against a fair number of members, myself included!

Hang on, my brain has just popped up with a more disturbing possibility...

I just got back from my local B&Q and they are now out of stock of the stuff

It's all in the boot of my Omega now - all 11 litres of the stuff...

It's not Castrol though....? it's Carlube.... fully synthetic....

Just need to buy the filters for the gearbox now, it's due an oil change anyway...

Will the same stuff work with the powersteering...?

No you need Dex II for that, Dex III will dissolve the rubber pipes.
