Ital axle oil qty
Discussion
I'm changing the diff oil and James Whiting has moved the oil fill point higher up the axle case when he built my car. It's now above the stiffening rib. Any idea how much oil I should put back in to suitably over fill it. I only ask as at donington it was spitting quite a bit of oil mist out of the breather.
I used to race in Classic Graduates with an ital axle and Vauxhall engine. I killed two or three diffs in as many seasons before realising that I wasn't putting enough oil in, the season I did that I stopped killing diffs. Even though I was racing the extra reliability at the cost of a little drag was a fair trade.

Thanks for that. It does sound a lot and prem previous testing I've done of diff drag losses due to oil viscosity qty its sapping quite a bit of power. However if it keeps my diff alive so be it!
