What Transmission Fluid Goes In Your Lamborghini Gallardo? E Gear & Rear Differential Oil Choices?

I show you what oil you should use on your manual transmission and E gear Lamborghini Gallardo made from 2004-2014. I show you where the E gear oil is, when you replace it and how the automated manual single plate dry clutch Graziano L140 transaxle operates. If you have a gated 6MT Gallardo, I show you what actuates the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder on your Lambo too!
Be ahead of the game when it comes to replacing your gearbox and limited-slip differential oil to eliminate clunky driving when turning at low speeds.

Again thanks a lot Richard, you helped me tremendous with this topic!

[@TheBullRider]

No problem R Tennekes! Im happy that it cleared some confusion up for you!

[@SummitLife]

Amazing video

[@ndpesicgroup]

Great info !! Thank you !!!

[@TheBullRider]

I'm glad you found this helpful Deuce!

[@vinnythehandyman]

Great video! Thanks for explaining the difference between both fluids. As for me Bull Rider saved my butt! Thanks for the research and helping out the Gallardo family! Make sure you guys subscribe to his channel. Excited for what the future holds. 👏

[@TheBullRider]

I'm happy to help Ryan! These bad boys are complicated cars and I hope this clarified things for you and helped you understand your car a bit better. Doesn't help that we have typos in our user manual AND the service manual is missing data!!

[@ricsu3462]

Love this!! The r8 shares so many of the same mechanisms this is actually super helpful. Thanks!!

[@TheBullRider]

Im glad its helpful to you Ric. All I need is a V10 r8 in the garage to show the differences! Maybe a bigger garage is in order first!

[@tanelrebane]

Good advice on the oil change interval, fresh fluids are such a cheap insurance. This is a confusing topic and I'm sure more owners will feel confident to DIY it thanks to your vid!

[@TheBullRider]

Tanel, any new Gallardo owner is going to be in over their head just trying to find answers for simple gear oil! The user manual is confusing and has typos, the service manual is confusing and has typos, and finally the forums are confusing and have typos! LOL

[@tanelrebane]

@@TheBullRider I know, right! Not to mention that this could also be the first dry sump for many owners, so checking your levels isn't even straight forward. ;-D

[@TheBullRider]

@@tanelrebane Now that you mention it, you just gave me a great video idea!

[@veucinze]

As always very interesting, you really are the pope of Gallardo, I mean it! Thanks again! Have a great sunday, cheers my friend!

[@TheBullRider]

Hi Veucinze, Im glad you liked the video. Its always fun to share with you every little detail of the car. Hope it clears up for you some details regarding servicing too! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday too!

[@artysanmobile]

As a lifelong gearhead, I am so happy to have your channel, a deep dive into one exceptional car. Almost too good to be true.

[@TheBullRider]

Thank you Peter. Its a wonderful thing that I enjoy doing every day. These cars are wonderful pieces of automotive history and deserves all the deep dives that I can do!

[@nicholaslynch7157]

Great video as always thank you

[@TheBullRider]

Right on Nicholas! Glad you liked it. You still having trouble with your E Gear system on your Gallardo?

[@jacobchavez4806]

Need to do a video on the e gear system, replacement of components, oil level, etc.

[@TheBullRider]

In all honesty with you Jacob, I hope that I DONT EVER have to do a video on e gear component replacement! But if that ever is the case, I will! Hahahaha

[@Hewardrv8]

Another great choice is Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90. Works great in tranny safe for yellow metals and gl-4 rated it is also synchronizer safe! I have been spending time converting oils and what not over to readily available oils and this one has worked flawless in mine! Another great video!

[@TheBullRider]

Agreed, royal purple sells great stuff!! I use their break in oil on new builds! Do it right the first time!

[@ghettovaquero7592]

Can’t wait for the DIY video for transmission oil change! My 04 makes a groan when turning tightly. I’m pretty sure it needs diff and trans oil change.

[@TheBullRider]

Its coming out soon Ghetto Vaquero! As soon as I get the oil in the mail haha! Mine is making the same noise too, kind of the charm of the car too right?

[@ghettovaquero7592]

@@TheBullRider At first I thought it was broken, but I guess it’s normal. Hopefully changing the fluid will make it smoother around parking lots.

[@starwarsmod]

Muchas gracias por la información 👍

[@SomeJuanPlay]

I did not know that the manual version used the brake fluid instead that's interesting and I also didn't know why the engine was scooted to the left Your channel is going to come in really handy when I get my hands on my Gallardo!

[@TheBullRider]

Isn't that neat Juan! Interesting tech there for sure for manual cars. You see this same clutch setup on a lot of Audis/VW with manual transmissions too. The Graziano L140 is an absolute monster of a transmission too. I really need to pull it out of the car and show you what the best transmission in the world really looks like.

[@jacobchavez4806]

“Beautiful “

[@TheBullRider]

It sure is Jacob. Thanks for reaching out

[@fortheLOVEofMODsMike]

So Pentosin CHF 11S is only used in the Second Gen LP cars for the E-gear Actuator system ?? !!

[@TheBullRider]

Mike, that is correct. I did some digging and it appears that VWAG part number G004000 is the oil for the LP/R8 Rtonic E gear actuator fluid. G004000 cross references to CHF11S as a compatible part. I also believe that you can use CHF-11s in the Pre LP E gear actuator but I personally wont risk it.

[@samuelprados4975]

In the E-Gear actuator you can use any good quality synthetic low viscosity ATF fluid, will do no harm. But ideally you can use Febi 06161 or Tutela CS Speed (my choice too), as said, Don't EVER THINK on using brake fluid, you're going to *destroy* the actuator system. I've seen this before and its ugly.

[@TheBullRider]

Samuel, exactly! Tutela CS Speed all the way! Whats your thoughts on CHF 11S in the E gear system? I mentioned brake fluid and how it actuates the clutch slave cylinder in manual cars. Kind of an elegantly simple system that manual cars have huh?

[@samuelprados4975]

@@TheBullRider yeah, in the manuals it is pretty simple and elegant indeed. I don't use CHF 11 because I don't like it's smell 😅. Specially the gear pump and the accumulator, they are the parts that suffer more with an incorrect fluid. Lambo's E-Gear, Fiat/Alfa Romeo Selespeed/Dualogic and a handful of other AMT systems are all derived from the Free Choice AMT System from Magneti Marelli, and Magneti Marelli recommended the CS Speed, which is readily available even in my country, so there's actually no real reason to mess with different fluids in those systems. But I know people who use CHF 11. It feels a little off to me. I know we are not supposed to touch oils, but it feels different on the touch, I wonder if it is going to have some negative effects on the long term. And since CS Speed is easy to find.... you got my point.

[@TheBullRider]

@@samuelprados4975 I remember using CHF11 in power steering systems and thats funny you mention the smell because I dont mind it! Haha Regarding the "feel" of the fluid. I know what your saying, makes me think that there are different viscosity modifiers in the CHF11s. Finding CS Speed is a bit expensive here in the US but you can still find it!

[@samuelprados4975]

@@TheBullRider Well, I said CS Speed was easy to find, not cheap 😅. But when doing any kind of work in a AMT transmission, the oil is usually the cheapest part involved, so I just go for CS Speed. I live in Brazil.

[@TheBullRider]

@@samuelprados4975 Yeah I couldn't agree with you more on that! You have to pay to play sometimes!
