1993 Rover Metro Quest transaxle oil question
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2022 3:50 pm
Hello all,
Just joined the forum......I am a new (September) owner of a 1993 Rover Metro Quest with only 13K original miles. The car is almost as new in every respect.....very pleased!
It runs great, however I wanted to change the fluids. I started by changing the oil and filter. The coolant was just changed not too long ago, so not worried there.
I would like to now change the transaxle oil. The manual only states 75W oil (I think, without it in front of me).
Should I use GL3 or GL4 gear oil. I have always used GL3 for my other classics (Imp, Reliants, etc...) as it is soft/yellow metal friendly.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help. I am in the USA, and there is about zero support over here!
Cheers,
Julian
