diff oil

Mon Dec 13, 2010 12:50 pm

I am doing an oil change on my diff, is it ok to use
lucas sae 75w-90 synthetic.

On the back of the bottle it reads "exceeds service level GL5, API MT-1, API GL5, MIL-PRF-2105E, MACK GO-J, PG-2 LIMITED SLIP.

Some expert advice would be much appreciated.

What sort of diff do you have?

Just the satandard diff, (not limited slip). Car is a 325i

It's normally EP80 that the diffs use. I tried to have a look at the tech specs but links were broken... and I'm at work now so can't look any more.

Haven't bought enough oil, I have only put in 900ml when it should be 1700ml, will it do any harm if I drive a couple of miles to go and get some more?
