I guess the oil was never changed (115.000kms) as it was quite dark with high viscosity.

Now I'm trying to get swepco 201 (general 80W-90) or Swepco 202 (75W-90 the better version as I checked on Swepco web page...)

I'm waiting for a local dealer to give me a budget for the arms seal and the IMS replacement (three weeks waiting already) but I'm thinking in chainging the transmission oil myself again just to stop the noise and any probable problem in the meanwhile.

Any suggestions on the oil? shell Shelix Spirax S6 ADME 75w-90
Use the factory oil.
