According to some folk on MTBR, 85wt oil is the correct viscosity.

However, Float Fluid is enriched with molybdenum and the semen of a two headed unicorn. I'm almost certain that Halfords own-brand will not contain those in any decent quantity.

The two headed unicorn being the rarer species to collect semen from I suppose

I'd hesitate to send it through the post, but if you're near brackley or come through, I've a more or less unused tub of the stuff in my shed, If you want it.

Is it the molybdenum or the unicorn semen that gives it the nice blue colour? You won't get that with gear box oil.
