Been researching this and found that some recommed 3 litres (contacted opie oils) and one guy on the oc said he used 2.8 litres.

Most likely on the C52 mk1 N/A box. Capacity of the E51 is 4.2 or 4.5 depending on where you look, but you won't get more than 4L (or 4 quarts of MT90) in there. I can recommend MT90 though it sure aint cheap.

I'd suggest that he didn't fill it right if he only got 2.8 into an E51, I usually get about 3.6-3.7.

Reading up further and found that you are supposed to use a sulphur free oil as the sulphur becomes acidic and eats the synchros. Any ideas on which oils are sulphur free?

H,

I'd go for the Redline MT90 stuff too :thumbsup:

Like said before it ain't cheap but it is well worth it, had it in mine now for 18 months and it's great stuff.
