LSD Oil

Post Tue May 05, 2015 4:06 pm

What does everyone recommend? I am looking to install the m-coupe diff cover and figure I may as well change oil at the same time.

AND....does anyone have a suggestion on a cheap pump so I can do it in the car?

Cheers!
Gus

Hi Gus, I used Castrol syntrax Limited Slip 75w 140 I think. I used an empty washing up bottle and bit of clear pipe pushed onto the nozzle, worked fine!

That's listed as a competition oil, ans as such would be intended to have only a short, but hard, working life, before being changed. It's likely to be short on viscosity stabilisers and other additives that give modern road oils their alleged 100,000 mile life.
The same applies to many other competition parts (as opposed to boy racer parts) - intended to be inspected at short intervals and changed regularly.
