FWD is NOT mt 75 its VXT75 transaxle and is 75W90,
The RWD mk6 is MT75 and ALSO 75W90,as is MT82 sixspeed(rwd) so basically ALL mk6`s are on 75W90
There is a different "MT75" (not 75W90) oil But thats for MK3-5.

Latest paperwork lists 75W90 for ALL MT75`s,but earlier mk3-5 oil is available,go figure.
(hence confusion at parts dept,seems ford have backdated 75W90 for all MT`s)

No confusion over mk6`s tho,75W/90......all of `em.
List it for MK3-5 but i think the earlier MT75 oil works "better" on those :idea:

Someone on the Sierra forum asked what to use in a MT75 box, and I duly advised MT75 oil was the one to use :wink:
..................I was practically beaten with a stick by the gurus on there, who swore blind that 75/90 was a much better oil for that box. Apparently thats what they all use, so I'm keeping quiet from now on :roll: :lol:
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)
2004 Mk6 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.0 TDDi - Vantunered (Also gone)
2008 Mk7 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.2 TDCi - Also Vantunered
