shamus1 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 my whine seems to be when you come of the power in a high gear but no noise when on the power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnobody Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 yep my gearbox is the same.Has had a whine for the last 100000 miles,I think its just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus1 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 do you think changing to the Castrol might sort this out because it could be just the oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnobody Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 changing the oil made it bit better (maybe)I was going to try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Forte-Car-Diff-Gearbox-Wear-Noise-Gear-Oil-Treatment-/261309198652?pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&hash=item3cd73df13c it worked in a land rover, but never got around to it.

shamus1 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 was thinking of that stuff aswell but have read up on the Castrol oil and its supposed to be very good on on gearboxes.i think it could be because its fully synthetic and ford gearbox oil might be semi?

jgriff Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 How often should gearbox oil be changed? Ive got a 08 focus 1.6 petrol with 140k kms on the clock. Should it have been changed or when would it be due a change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I would most likely go for 75w/90 fully synthetic. IIRC for an ib5 box its 2.3 litres. Personally I wouldn't buy the ford stuff, i tend to use triple qx stuff from eurocarparts but I do buy 5 litres at a time so does work out cheaper.
