Well I just filled up the transaxle with MT90.
I literally filled it up because it started streaming out again.
Anyway, it's full so I'll see how it goes.

You get the Caltex oil from selected petrol stations. There's one near me. They even sell drums....lol

Thanks for the heads up.  I did ring another large caltex but they didnt stock it.  Might try some others closer by.
 
Cheers

Another reccomendation is the Penrite Gearbox Oil as mentioned via Road and Track. I've given this a go and find it ok. Just make sure you get the right stuff, shame it isn't the cheapest oil to come by! Previously I had the Castrol Fully Synthetic ATF which seemed fine also.

The penrite wasnt that much more than the castrol from memory?  The viscosity range is not as much as the castrol too, not sure how that would affect things?
 
mr2qik, do you have a link for the listing of stockists of the easy shift oil?  I could only find listings for various fuels?
 
Cheers

Car is running, caltex gear oil is performing well, shifts are great, even when cold (well ambient temp ~35 degrees).  
 
Factory LSD turbo box, took under 4 litres to fill.
