Thank´s fpr a quick reply. Knud, do You know how much?

Miller Oils do a semi fluid grease too, I seem to remember it is a little less expensive than Castrol Spheerol.
I Fill my Sturmey box up to the plug. It then spits out what it doesn't need and seems to stay at much the same level thereafter.

If all the gears on the lower shaft can dip into it, it will get around. It will be fluid when the gearbox get warm.
