Hmm bit weird ay.would semi synthetic oil be more freeze prone than fully synth?
SimplyEd you from zsoc?
I would imaging there was little / nothing in it for freeze point. How long had you had the car running before you used the gears? If the oil had got "thicker" because of the low temperatures then just leaving the car to idle for 10 minutes should get the gearbox oil up to temperature.
I am indeed - thought I recognised your username!
I had it running for about 15 mins.
This is the oil I currently have in..... wrong/right oil?

What brings you to cs? You bought one?
I'm going to stick with frozen linkage then. How cold was it?
That oil is ideal, so nothing wrong there.
I have indeed. Posted up on here and ZSOC about it, so I guess you've missed the news! Inferno Orange FF 182. Love it.
It was -16 so pretty fresh!
It was fine just on way home at -5.
Nice, ill have to look. Dont go on it that much now.
Haha, that would explain it then. Most normal gear oils will struggle at those sort of temps.
Do that. The welcome thread on here has more photos. Yeah, I'm beginning to go off it quite quickly!
Just checked it out mate, looks quality!
Thanks for the help on the oils
