We need to change the gearbox oil in Molly 1976 2ltr and just cannot find any GL4 80-90w anywhere in the Bundaberg region.
Andy is very fussy about using the correct oils.
Is there an equivalent or is there somewhere anyone can suggest that might sell it?

Sparesbox on ebay have it:
Valvoline Gear Oil HP Gear Oil 80W-90 4L 1398.04 9310009019790 | eBay
I have bought stuff from them before for my Touareg. They can be hit and miss sometimes with delivery times - sometimes quick, sometimes a few weeks.

Thanks. I have googled my fingers off and found one that fits the GL4 specifications and is available in Supercheap here ? Castrol Universal 80-90w

Or Castrol Manual GL-4 80W-90
Run it by Andy, to see if he is happy with the specs, before buying though… has to be the right taste and flavour

Seems to tick all the boxes…..
There’s a Supercheap in Bundy.
