Gearbox Oil ... (Should be Buzzard ..)

Well I have been using it now in my fairly rapid 1275 Mini for almost two years - oil pressure is still fine ! And when it's used - it's thrashed !! Also use it my 1098 Minor - and while it also gets thrashed - it's a rather less highly tuned engine - and it's oil pressure also stays right on the (slightly uprated) relief valve setting.

It does not protect the engine anywhere near as well as a decent oil at high engine temps. Especially in Minis where the gearbox gives it a good thrashing too. If you want the best for your engine then use a decent oil.

Well I was in Adas yesterday and there cheap oil does not have an API rating on it so its not the same as Comma oils.

WARNING - LURCHING OFF TOPIC!
Presumably "Should be Buzzard" ^^^ is a gag I don't get - can anyone explain it?
