jazz1 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Price sounds right, I just changed both I put motul gear 300 in the diff 75w 90 and royal purple synchromax in gear box.

Dnk Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I used Toyotas Type IV ATF in my UK spec autobox and Mobil 1 75w 90 gear oil in my LSD Are they dropping the sump off the box and changing the filter ?

Guest Roger NE Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The main thing to make sure if you have an LSD is that they use Diff Oil that is designed for LSDs (which has a special additive compared to ordinary diff oil) . . . but several people people make it these days, including Comma (which your local car accessory shop will normally stock - mine does) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
