Re: best oil
It's all down to cost really, mineral oil > then semi synthetic > then fully synthetic.
If your planning on doing lots of miles then fully synthetic has a long service life but I use semi synthetic.
Same with the gearbox it's mineral or semi/fully synthetic. Quite a price difference though. I used synthetic but if you go wading I recommend using mineral oil and change it often (but your not going wading are you, too tidy for that
)
I know people put breathers on everything but so often the oil still comes out contaminated.
Same applies to transfer box and diff oils.

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
