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:

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.

I used red line 75w90 (API GL-5) in my live axle with quaiffe atb, as said no need for lsd specific oil. Spoke to the guys at opie oils, really helpful...

Thanks guys, I have bought this at the local Halfords so I hope to be back on the road tomorrow
