Don’t know if the EPX80 has active additives (there is nothing about active aditives on the bottle), but the data sheet states the following:- Castrol EPX Gear Oils have excellent thermal stability, resistance to oxidation and offer good corrosion protection to both ferrous and nonferrous components.
The data sheet also talks about using Castrol EPX 75W/80 for use with Saab 99, Citroen, Renault and Peugeot manual gearboxes. (It does not state what year or models)
The Haynes book recomends using EP80, but the Citroen owners manual states BV 75W-80.
I will check out Repco or Supercheap for the Castrol EPX 75W/80.
