Quaife ATB - which oil?
As per the title guys....
Need to get some oil for my LSD. I have heard that the quaife ATB uses 'normal' diff oil.
Any advice ?
Thanks, Mark

Ask quaife. They are usually pretty helpful 
I think they take std oil too, but would you risk it on a £600 diff?

David,
Their website quotes 'SYN 75W 90' synthetic.
I wanted it today and I only have Halfords as an option really. I will go have a look...

It is just normal diff oil as the limited slip action is provided by helical gearing etc and not special oil (like in a vLSD - v for viscous).
I just put the normal smelly stuff in.
Motul Hypoid something or other, something like this:
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-973-fuchs-titan-gear-syn-75w-90-semi-synthetic-driveline-oil.aspx
But just bought it from my local GSF motor factors. Its about £6 or £7 quid a litre. Supposedly you need 900ml IIRC but in the end I needed a little
bit more. You need to make your own kinda dip stick out of a bent bit of wire.
