Title: which grade
Post by: tooleater on 01 June 2012, 08:47:21

Going away this after noon.I notice diff is wet on one side NSL with that drive shaft throwing oil in and around that area,not alot I can do :-\ except top it up. Anyone tell me which grade of gear oil needed and would this be the outer seal on diff or some thing else.

EP90 Hypoid oil will be fine. If it's an LSD and it needs a huge amount of topping up it's worth bearing in mind that it needs an additive.

Very unlikely to be LSD, and, for topping up, EP90 will be fine anyway. It's just that if you have had to top up an LSD an awful lot, you need to think about the additive or an "LS" oil which already contains them.
