I've mislaid my YRV service manual CD, can anyone advise me as to the correct oil types, grades, spec and quantities for the gearbox, diff, tranfer box and the engine.?
Many thanks in advance.

Go to the Comma Oil website and bang in your reg no.

Comma are part of Exxon and so is Mobil, supposedly the best oil. You can't help thinking that the technology will have rubbed off - at much lower prices!

thankyou both
Thanks for the info. Just what I needed, and if fully synthetic makes the difference then so be it, synthetic it is.
cheers.
hang on a minute....GL4 transfer oil???
Bob, I've just noticed that the smx-s oil you've mentioned for the transfer box is the SMX-S, which as far as I'm aware is a GL4 rated oil. My owners manual specs GL5 for the tranfer box and diff and only the gearbox gets GL4.
Is the spec different on your sirion or what am I missing?
thanks.

In any modern Daihatsu
In a modern Daihatsu petrol engine, (thats now probably done a fair few miles)
0w40 would be the grade I would choose for the engine. 5w30 is probably the factory specified, But 0w (synthtic only in this grade) offers better cold start protection than 5w, and the 40 gives better hot running protection than a 30.
For drivetrain, 75w 90 fully synthetic, You can now get GL5 TDL oils (total driveline) meaning they are backwards compatable with all the lesser GL3/4 specs, and suit all manual gearboxes and final drives. Basicaly one oil to suit all applications.
Valvoline Synpower 75w90 TDL is one of the best TDL gear oils out there, but seen it cheaper than the below link:
