Default Trans oil

I have used up my supply of Castrol TWS 10W60 which is no longer available here. Is there an equivalent Castrol product or another equivalent Brand ??

Default Re: Trans oil

Below is email question to Bill Bordreau.

“What is your opinion?

Are both Castrol 10w-60 the same product in new bottle?
Is new BMW 10w-60 worth taking chance on?
Amsoil 5w-30 a better choice being specifically made for syncromesh manual transmission?

Your opinion and answers is truly appreciated.”’


Bill’s response.

“Hi Byong,

All three BMW 10W-60 oil products referenced below are exact same composition.

I agree with Marc Haibeck about using Amsoil Synthetic Synchromesh Transmissiol
