i just changed the gearbox oil and i did a hole in cup viscosity test with new and used fluid. the new oil took about half the time to go through the cup 1min 30sec compared to 2min 40 for the used oil.

i used castrol ATF in the end. seamed to be the thinnest in the shop based on shaking all the bottles
