Big Brother Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I needed to get some Redline MTL for my new gearbox as well as some oil for my diff. After searching through the Blatchat archives I came up with Delta Oils Ltd. Just called them (01572 768311) and spoke to a very nice man. He recommended two quarts of MTL (around £29) for the type 9 gearbox and after enquiring into the cars main use (road and trackday) recommended some Lightweight ShockProof EP-140 diff oil (around £15). When I mentioned it was for a Caterham 7 and I was a member of the owners club he threw in free next day delivery *thumbup* No connection, just a happy consumer 😬 Steve Se7en-Up!

Big Brother Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 I thought (and still do) the price was very good. See here for the "normal" price. Steve Se7en-Up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Beaumont Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I read this and wilted at the thought of the £30 of gear oil I'll need when BGH build my 'box. Thought 'can't be that expensive surely?' and went googling. Seems you can get it for 8 bucks per quart over t'pond ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
