Krismc - 1/5/06 at 04:40 PM

where to buy and how to fill up??

Went to halfords and a few other motor factors to buy the above, but all the castrol etc decent stuff and own make stuff said not suitable for LSD's!

Where do i buy LSD oil??

and when im topping it up how do i make sure i dont put too much in, if i top up via the bleed/vent pipe and just crack the fill bolt of will this be ok?? i have no room to fill normally via the fill bolt!

You don't need LSD oil with Ford viscous diffs only clutch plate type LSD. I used castrol EP90 I think.

Fill to the bottom of the filler hole. I guess if you fill through the breather with the normal filler plug removed then once it starts coming out of the filler that will be fine.

Yeah - normal oil cos the viscous coupling is a sealed unit.
