Diff Oil?

[MADMAX2]

I need to change my diff oil mines a late 1995 Chimaera 4.0HC

What's everybody using? Good recommendations ? Source easy? I'm near cov/nuneaton

How much do I need to do the job?

Is mine a GKN or a BTR diff?


Mine has the fins


Cheers

Smooth ally back plate on the diff or finned?

I use Morris 85w140 fully synthetic in my BTR diff, I think this may have been what was originally used at the factory, for some of the time at least.

Finned

GKN then, each to there own but you could use above also in the GKN suggested, I use Castrol 75/140 LSD oil.

And for God's sake don't get any ideas of changing the Diff on your garage floor with Axle stands!

Why not, we dropped the diff on Alex's chest, (Alexdaredevilz) and he can still moan

John Reid, Grantura engineering recommends only one oil that was developed for the BTR diffs.



Damn, it's in the outer garage, I'll look tomorrow.

John recommended Morris 75W140 fully synthetic as mentioned above. He was pretty adamant it was the only oil to use even though he didn't sell it!
