Front and rear diff oil

[Lazy-Ferret]

I was just wondering...

I know I need LSD oil for the rear diff, but would it be detrimental to putt he same stuff in the front diff as well?

Also does anyone know how much oil is in each of the Diffs?

Cheers

As LSD oil is more expensive than standard oil I would not put it in the front diff, but it will do no harm, as for amount depends on year, Rick

Cheers Rick... its a 1999, has the Cast Diff's rather than pressed steel.

Dude! Don't speak like that, make me feel depressed :lol

Your set up where you live is incredibly clever, never met anyone like that before :thumb2

If scotch does that then keep drinking :naughty

Read in our local rag,last week about a 40 year old woman that has got Alzheimer's.It shows that it is not a age related issue.Author Terry Pratchett was diagnosed a couple of years ago with it.

Yeah this caught me out, I had the same details, but infact the gearbox took 5 litres on the dot. I got my info from comma website (but infact they has supplied enough oil anyway :nenau)

Defo not GL5 in our gearboxes as it kills the bronze fittings.
