Looking for recommendations for trans oil for my T5 in my au2 xr8.

Also engine oil

Picked up some Castrol Magnatec 10W40 and Transmax z.

Anyone know the size of the hex socket for the drain plug on the transmission?

Cheers

I use penrite HPR10 in my AUII XR8. Somebody else I know uses penrite HPR5.

Which one is the best is a matter of personal choice I suppose.

Thanks for the reply I think I put HPR10 in it last time but the car was hardly driven while it was in, still looked in decent nick when it came out.

3/8" from a very poor memory...

Penrite HPR5 in my late Whingers, and as the dude above said HPR10 is ok too.
Penrite 70-75 or 75-80 in the box goes good.

Royal Purple, Synchromax for the gear box, highly recommend this oil.

Penrite 70w-75 works well. It's designed for boxes like T5 and T56 that originaly speced ATF.

Transmax Z is also a good choice
