Hypoid oil, 75W90 or 80W90, the choice is yours. If it's a small diff, you'll need just under a litre. if it's a medium diff (for 325) you'll need 1.7 litres.

Type of oil,run an LSD on standard stuff and it will cease to be an LSD....E30_Crazy wrote:Whats different then? The amount needed, or the type of oil? Gonna do mine when I get back from overseas.Bristol_Jer wrote:Unless it is an LSD!
As I do not run an LSD,I am not sure about the correct grade here,but I am sure a search will pull up a suitable suggestion.

At a guess,the only thing it will hurt is your wallet....Duke137 wrote:Can you put B373 in an open diff without problems?
