hi guys,

been having some issues with my gearbox and have had it re-built. I questioned with the workshop what type of oil they put in it and they told me they use Dexron III which is their recomended oil for this gearbox. I've done a quick google search, as I've never heard of Dexron, and they only results I've found is that its for GM gearboxes.

Last time I check PD170s needed 5W/40 (VW505 00). Will Dexron screw up my car??
 
You want 75w90s gear oil unless its a DSG or auto.

5w40s is engine oil.
