Pudd Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hi guys,Wanting to change the gearbox oil on a 07 Ford Fiesta (facelift). Confused as to which oil is really best for the car - the internet has led me to believe many, many different things. As per my local parts desk I require ford spec WSD-M2C200-C (the guy showed me this stuff - http://www.oil-service.su/d/367604/d/image_43.jpg), however have read here that you can use the rebranded SMX-S stuff - http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/12648-fiesta-mk6-gearbox-filler/. My concern is though that the SMX-S stuff does not say that it meets that spec on the bottle. I did find two things on the Castrol website though which conflict: http://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/EBD50B7F0C69A5C48025782000516BFB/$File/BPXE-8DHD82_0.pdf http://www.salube.co.za/downloads/tds/syntrans-multivehicle-75w-90.pdf However they both seem to be the same stuff although have different specifications. My concerns are - Is the stuff that I have (Syntrans Multivehicle 75W-90) suitable for my car? What is the definitive top up level - I've read until it dribbles out, and I've also read that it should be 10mm under the filler hole? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've fixed my first post to ensure the links do now work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
