Why do you need to put oil in a manual? It's just a small book, with written information and pictures.



Shall I get my coat?




...actually, I'd like to know the answer to this too. Also, are there any recommended lubricants, or will standard gearbox/diff oils do the job?

AFAIK the fluids may be specific, though not as critical on the manual as they are on the Auto.

There are a few threads on the topic, but mainly for autos which won't be a massive help. :-[
