    I have a 1979 Fiat X1/9 1500 and need to replace the gearbox oil.
    The oil required is non-EP and specified as GL-1 - any ideas where I could buy some in Ireland (pref. Co. Wicklow or South Co. Dublin.

    Many thanks!!!


    Mike

    I don't think you will find GL-1 oil

    GL-4 should do the job and even that is hard to find!!! I did find some GL-4 in Motorway. Most motorfactors supply GL-5.

    The reason for not using GL-5 is that it will eat Yellow metals found in gearboxes of that period, GL-4 will not. GL-5 Should be fine for Rear axles though as there is no yellow metal. Im no expert but this is what I have been told.
