Right, this week end i plan to do an oil change, not just the engine either! i plan to do all the oli's, gear box, transfare box, axels and so on, but looking in the book i need to buy about 6 different types and i can not find the ones its asking for.
So any advice on the oils to use would be great, i know i need 15w40 for the engine but no idea on the rest......Come on guys dig me out again....:bow
 
Many Thanks.

Air filter done, Diesel filter done, just got the oils to do now.

Doing them tomorrow, Not got the SL oil for the diff though but it is 80w-90 so im hoping its ok.
 
i think it really has to be LS oil, ordinary oil wont work properly :thumb2

Plank is right it MUST be LSD oil as there are friction requirements with the clutch pack that mean ordinary oils are too slippery.
 
Opps, I have only just got back to read this and i have already put the oil in.......

May have to re-do the rear diff and swap it again as its not LS oil:eek:.

Well thats a £36 mistake LOL because ideally you need to refill with the proper LSD oil then redo it in a month or so to get rid of all of the old stuff that will be stuck to the clutch plates etc..
