LSD oil

[firebobby]

I am thinking of changing the oil in my rear diff, will I need special oil for this, if so, any recommendations. Also, how much will I need.
Thanks, Fred

your's will be a c200 backplated diff, these take 1.8 ltrs of comma LSD oil, most motor factors have it

mmm im in the same boat, gonna change my diff oil but not sure on grade ,mines 2001 2.7se+ dont wanna risk damaging clutch if i used wrong oil

A surprising number of cars run LSDs, especially in rally-heavy parts of the world like Wales and Yorkshire. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the correct oil. Just make sure you can loosen the filler plug before draining the old oil out...

Right, I have bought some Comma LSD oil but it's LS80-90, is this ok and it's also GL5, I thought this wasn't any good for our cars or is it just the gearbox's that don't like GL5:nenau
