So guys, I dont quite fancy paying £9 every two weeks for gearbox oil, which is required when you buy it by the litre and train every day, so what do you all use?
I was using Putoline Atf but not cheap!

So what do you all use?
Try to use the template below, just to make it a bit easier for me to work out.

I like it better than ATF, slightly softer clutch and I feel that it's better for the bearings but have no scientific basis for this.
