Title: Rear Diff Post by star_whites on 26. Mar 2011 at 21:53
Does anyone know what oil I need to top up the rear diff amnd also how its done??
Is there a levekl plug and how much should it have??.....Is there a set level or is it like the autobox where u let it fill until it runs out of the filler hole?? |

IIRC, SAE90 semi-synthetic (with LSD additive if it's an LSD diff).
Fill it till it comes out of the hole. Just to add - the filler plug is half-way up on the drivers side of the diff, need a Torx bit to get it out (T30 seems to stick in my mind, but not 100% on that...) |
