Rear Differential oil???

Post by johnny46 » Tue Aug 12, 2014 10:46 pm

Hi all

i need to fill the rear differential with oil as it has been drained, i have seen somewhere that it takes 4.25lts is this correct and also that you fill some with a type of oil then the rest with an additive??

So basicly what do i need and how much of ? :)

cheers

Johnny

I always use penzoil, get it from Robin at Autopontiac (he will know how much too)
used it in Daves (DavyJ) and worked better than oil with additive

Penzoil is the one to use, as JB said, reaches all parts that other oils don't.. :thumb:
