Freelander diff... what oil to put in?
Red16 - 29/6/10 at 11:23 PM

I'm after some advice regarding my Mac Worx ZX10r... I've tried searching but it's not returning any results.

What oil do people recommend for a Freelander rear diff in a BEC?

How much oil does the diff take?

ep80 semi or fully synthentic. Comma do some thats reasonably priced and the local halfrauds stock it. You only need 1 litre

editted because i said 75-90 to start with, i got confused with the transferbox in a freelander, sorry too early

Like anyother hypoid diff it needs a Hypoid oil sometimes called an EP oil ie must be GL5 spec.

EP80 or EP90 or a multigrade such as EP75/90 to GL5
