* Gearbox Type: There are many different types of gearboxes used in the Peugeot 806. The specific type will determine the appropriate oil.
* Year of Manufacture: The type of oil recommended can vary depending on the year your 806 was manufactured.
* Oil Specifications: Gearbox oils have specific viscosity and performance classifications. Using the wrong oil can cause damage.
To find the right oil for your Peugeot 806 gearbox, I strongly recommend:
1. Consult your owner's manual: It will contain the specific recommendations for your vehicle's transmission.
2. Check your service manual: This will have detailed information about the gearbox oil.
3. Contact a Peugeot dealership or a reputable mechanic: They can provide accurate and vehicle-specific advice based on your car's details.
Never use oil that is not explicitly recommended for your gearbox. Using the wrong type can lead to:

* Potential damage to the transmission
Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your car's transmission.
