If you simply cannot find any MTF in Spain (I find this strange - I can get both the Pennzoil
and the GM stuff <u>locally</u> here in Sweden, in a village with a population of just 2500!)
you will have to resort to use the ATF option... But MTF is better - if you can get it!

You can see countless spanish web pages advertising all kinds of oils, but you´ll be lucky to find one that actually sells the stuff... Whats the point!
Well in actual fact i have found locally the genuine rover MTF 94 oil, (looks nice and thin) but i´ve since learned to be cautious with apparently suitable specifications.
I also have the option of semi-synthetic Motylgear 75w/90 API GL4/5 Who knows?
The 100% synthetic oil i can buy here is suitable for gearboxes also but the spec. is API-GL5, and not the needed GL4. The GL5 has an increased amount of sulphur additive that does no good to the synchromesh parts, so this is also ruled out.
With the kind of gentle driving i´ll be doing, ATF will surely be a wise choice then.
