    Can anyone confirm what the correct grade of gearbox oil is for a 2003 Fiat Stilo 1.2 I went to the factors earlier and they have two different types listed from two different suppliers :confused:

    Anyone know the correct type for certain?

    Try ringing main dealer looking for the oil from them and ask the specs of it off them

    Might be worth a phonecall

    Is it a regular, Christian sort of manual gearbox? I should say a 75W-90 semi-synthetic hypoid will be just fine.

    Tried that. They said they only have part numbers, not the specifications. They offered to order it in and I said I'd get back to them if I couldn't get the stuff myself.

    Factor said listing for both this and 75W-80 (I think). One was GL4 and the other was GL5 - apparently these are not supposed to be mixed as it can wear out bearings or bushings inside the box

    Not quite - they say GL5 synthetics attack brass bushings at temperatures of about 110C. I'm not convinced. In a car that age GL4 is fine anyway.

    ZC75 synth is Fiat spec, otherwise use a fully synthetic 75w80 oil.

    Takes 1.9 litres

    Source, I had a few of those boxes

    Thanks a mil for that. I got the exact same advice from a Fiat Mech yesterday so that's what I'll go with. Passenger side driveshaft seal is weeping slightly so am going to swap it out when I can.
