Oil Level Diff

[de Auge]

Hi,

I look for the Point I can see the Oil Level in the Diff of my S3C.
Also I have no Information which Oil I can add if its not enough.
And where I put it in.

There is a plug on the back that you remove with a hex key, the oil level should be until it just comes out (i.e. the bottom of the hole made when the plug is removed. As for the oil an 80W90 gear oil is what is required

Hi,

a lot of Information.
How is the Specification of LSD Oil???

Ok,
the Level is right. The Oil is yellow. The smell is like Hypoid or EP Oil.
My Diff is little leaking. I didn't find where. Now I have the idea to renew
the Seals. In german "Simmerring" to the ends of the 3 drive shafts.
Who knows which Typ or Dimension it has to be.

Thanks
Rolf
