Rover PG1
The service manual says your Rover PG1 gearbox id filled for life, and requires no periodic renewal. However, some people choose to replace the oil in sync with their C service. Some have commented that a better oil can improve gear change and reduce noise.
PG1 needs API GL4 spec for the synchros.
Dry fill capacity = 2.4 litres, Refil = 2.1 litres
