Goodday everyone,
I am new to the forum so I hope the post was done correctly. I own a Fiat Idea 1.4 16v (manual gearbox) from 2005. Now I want to replace the gearbox oil and I ordered oil a few days ago. The manual indicates Tutela Car ZC 75 synth 75w80 gl-5, which cannot be ordered in the Netherlands. In the the later Idea manual fiat gifs the reference: 9.55550-MX3
So I ordered this oil:
Eurol MTF 75W-85 FE GL5
MTF 75W85 FE GL5
API GL-5, incl Limited Slip
MB 235.7 / 235.15
FIAT/ALFA ROMEO/LANCIA 9.55550-MX 3
Can I use it? there are quite a few conflicting stories about the use of gl-5 oil, and some people say
it is better to use gl4 which is also mentioned in the later manuals of fiat.
Thanks in advance.
Greeting John
