Just starting doing my own maintenance on my Griso 1100,my dealer sold me Castrol SAF-OX 75w/90 to the gearbox and Castrol MTX 75w/140 to the CARC. Okay or what? On my old machine 1000sp I always used 75w/90 in the gearbox and end transmisson.

I have also bought VDSTS for my EUC IAW 5AM, I haven't tested it yet, so I still dont know how its works, but i have been reading how to reset TPS in this forum. But when you are talking about there is a new map for the EUC, do you mean new software? How do I find out what map my EUC runs? And how do I upgrade my EUC, if there is a newer map?

On the VDST, once connected, you will see the map designation at the center bottom of the window. All map updates happen via the dealer or I offer ECU re-flash services. All stock upgrades I do for no charge if you ride in, or send me your ECU (outside of shipping in this instance)... and of course I offer Performance re-flashes.
 
The oil the dealer gave you is OK, but the 140 weight is only necessary for the 750s. 90 weight is just fine for both the gearbox and CARC.
 
have a preference for Castrol products. In my Stelvio I use

Castrol Edge Sport 10W60 in the motor

Castrol Syntrax 75W90 in both the gear box and the CARC
