Other information

After gearbox regeneration, we recommend implementing two key improvements to maximize the lifespan of new components:

Oil drain plug replacement: We recommend changing the original plug for a plug with a strong neodymium magnet, e.g., ACTii AC6007. The magnet effectively captures metal filings circulating in the oil, protecting bearings from premature wear.

Use of high-quality oil: We recommend using RED LINE MT-LV 70W/75W gear oil. It offers significantly better parameters than the original oil, especially stable viscosity at high operating temperatures, which is crucial for bearing protection. As a fully synthetic oil, it maintains its properties for a long time. The gearbox takes approx. 1.1L of oil, so two bottles (2 x 0.94L) should be purchased.
