Yes it would, and a very good oil it is as well!
.Yes, that's a much better oil than the Magnatec. It's about as good as oils get.

Thanks Guy,will keep this in mind.
I thought that one is a semi. It definately says synthetic? Either way, it's okay stuff, synthetic is the way to go though.
Cheers

The 8100 5w-40s will be fine, I'd probably go for the X-Cess your car doesn't need the oil to meet manufacturer specs and the other 5w-40 (X-Clean) is designed to meet VW/BMW/Merc specs.
you may be right all i remember was seeing 'synthetic' on the bottle while i was at the gas station, i'll go look at some fully synthetic oils lol
thanks

The shell helix 10w40 with the blue container is the semi synthetic stuff.
Not too great,i used it in a standard engine and wasnt too impressed.
A few people noticed that the level would go down after some thousand of kms.
I thought my engine was burning oil but then i found other people were having the same issue.
I guess the motul x-cess 8100 is better.
However there is a shell helix with grey container,says synthetic. That is the synthetic stuff.

what gearbox oil should i use in my 4wd starlet, running approx 180bhp?
Hi
You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox and here are the ones we have.

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Motul Gear 300, Redline MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Syntrax, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.
Cheers

Oilman i need your advise.
A friend of mine has an awd vitz, and he needs to know what oil should he use for transmission.
The car has automatic transmission, is a 2000 model, has 89000km on the odometer.
The car is in Guatemala City, Central America.
In advance, thank you very much.
