Title: Dirty gearbox oil
Post by: james_ly on April 4, 2020, 15:21
So I recently changed the gearbox oil. It was in there just under 2 years, when it drains it's mucky brown. One of my old cars I drained the oil after 90000 miles and it was still pink. Anyone know if it's normal on MR2s?

Yup it does go brown quite quickly. Mine's been in for 2 years and I can feel it needs changing
