Hi guys

As I am under the car doing the auto to manual conversion thought I would replace diff oil.

Does any one know how much I will need and what is the correct oil ie is the Europarts one ok to use?

Thanks

Gear oil 80w 90 semi synthetic nothing special, Halfords will have it, you will not need a lot couple of litres.

These are two write-ups. It's best to remove the filler plug before the drain plug in case the former is stuck.

Thanks guys I have got the fluid 80w90 and the procedure looks fairly standard so no dramas hopefully :)

Change the oil today had about 1/2” thick layer of sludge on the drain plug very gloppy and horrible possibly never been done.

Just check to see if the Limited slip function is fully working.?? Failure of the sealed unit will allow the thick "viscous" liquid to escape in to the casing and sink to the bottom.

How does one check that?
