Hi there,
I wish to do a transmission fluid change next weekend.
I have a JB3 Renault Transmission that holds 3,4 liters of fluid.
The car manual does not spec viscosity, only the GL5 norm.
Factory viscosity and viscosity used by the brand in this tranny is 75w80.
My question is if I should use 75w80 or if I'd have any advantage in using a different thickness like 75w90 or 80w90.
I notice that the gears have a harder time going in in cold weather and when the car is not up to temperature (especially 1st and 2nd gears).
The car is 15 years old, so is the transmission.
