And after two pages of recommendations, I still don't know what that is! Semi synth is ever popular but not everyone says so.

I'm looking at 4 days in almeria this November and one wouldn't want to go with the wrong oil in the 'box, would one????

Thanks for all your input.

I used that for a year, no problem with clutch slip, or anything else.

One sensible suggestion i can add to the thread is flush the gearbox and clean the clutch plates of all the old oil .. some oils don't mix well and might explain the clutch slip problem
