Gearrbox and rear diff oil
Gearrbox and rear diff oil
But I ordered 3 litres of THIS from Opie Oils for my service.
Just loooking at the description it says...
"Fuchs Titan Race SYN 5 fully synthetic gear oil is a multifunction product designed primarily for use in manual transmissions and final drive units, including road and competition limited-slip differentials"
Doesn't mention open diffs though so I'd just double check that they take the same grade of oil first.

So will this oil mess up my LSD then...? http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68901-fuchs-...5w-90.aspx
It's not JUST for LSD's, but thats on the list of applications you can use it for.
I'm sure that's what the Opie Oils site recommended.
There's this one too...http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68903-fuchs-...f-oil.aspx
Is the one I've got just a fully synthetic version of the other one or are they totally different?

due to the sport diff being a torsen type it only runs on normal diff oil......

As I read that those ones require an oil with a friction modifier, which I'm guessing is the bit that would be bad for our type of diff?
