gearbox oil

[kev m]

hi there, can anyone tell me the right oil to put into my gearbox ?
2005 1.8 tddi 74bhp 5speed Manuel there are that many makes and prices, i don't know which one to go for. i have been researching the subject but getting mixed information to be honest, some say fully synthetic some say semi synthetic some are say don't use atf some are saying don't use gl04 or gl05
am i right in thinking i need 75w-90 ?
fully synthetic or semi ?
i need 1.9 lt of oil to re fill the gearbox?
and which brand ?
many i have found are either gl04 or gl05 or atf
cheers kev
sorry forgot to say the van has done 100,000 miles don't know if that would make any difference or not!

Needs to have ..or preferred to have ford specification WSD-M2C200-C written on it somewhere. and 75w-90

somewhere down the line they changed to this specification - and the oil colour changed from red to golden . when they did this- i read - the gear change became slicker and easier.

mines got the golden stuff in it ..but for some reason Comma's " MVMTF Plus 75W" has just 75 and not 75w -90 written on it, i don't know why, its fully synthetic and the one comma specify.

I've only just changed mine to this and have not done any miles on it at all - so cant tell you any more than that the gearbox is called an MTX75 and there are a few people on the net recommending this oil brand and product code.
note you need to buy it in 2x1 ltr bottles as they come with the pull out spout that is needed to get it in .

all the best....mark
