Re: gearbox oil
Assuming you are asking about the transmission.. if so, there are a number of brands out there to select from. The ZF transmission uses engine oil, not traditional "gear" oil. I'm running BMW M TwinPower Turbo 10W-60 in mine..

Re: gearbox oil
I run Amsoil full synthetic. Yes, it's light weight, 10-30 I think.

Re: gearbox oil
I don't see Amsoil distributors for France either but I'd think Amsoil easily sourced from the UK. I believe the Amsoil is the 'NOW GO TO' I wouldn't go out of my way for a Castrol product.
Check this link for information I think quite useful for your location. Maybe I overlooked France but I don't believe so. https://www.amsoil.com/international/distributor/ |

Re: gearbox oil
Technically rear axle gear lubricant should not be used in the ZF S6-40. The synchronizer rings are a phosphor bronze alloy. The EP additive in hypoid gear oil attacks the phosphor bronze material. This is why GM used a Texaco motor oil with some additives deleted for the GM transmission lubricant. The ZF service publication specifies that Castrol motor oil can be used.
I have never heard of a problem from running gear lubricant in the 6S-40. However, since specialized manual transmission lubricants are available from Amsoil and Red Line, it's best to use these high quality products. |

MTFQT Maybe on the International webs they also have a reference to the original GM # 1052931. |
