Fair enough. The hub had started to complain a bit (despite not being in bad shape internally) so I thought some extra lubrication of any type would be better than nothing. The one change in performance that I have noted is that in some gears (6 & 7?) there's a slight tendency for the cog to stick i.e. for it to rotate forward with the hub (at least that's what it feels like), which gives a bit of a clonk through the drivetrain. I'll see if it settles down, but I'm wondering if it might be something to do with the drag spring that pre-loads the clutch mechanism.

Not to be rude, but would not use tripleqx oil on anything. It is ecp own brand and the few times I have used it on cars oil changes I have replaced the oil and filter on less than a thousand miles as the engine sounded louder and fuel efficientcy went down a noticeable amount.
Tho I did use total 5w40 in the ford/Jag mtx75 box and made the change perfect
