Retromotorsport Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 im putting my LSD in my mk2 today, and i wanna know what oil to put in it?? dad said to put cooking oil in there, what do you think? depends if dad wants to pay for a rebuild If its a plate LSD then you need Castrol Hypoid LS for the road or Castrol B373 for competition use . If its a Quaife torsen diff then you are supposed to be able to use any good gear oil
huxmk1estate Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Posted March 11, 2007 ok well it a plate type.. so where do i get that oil from?? cheers hux
Retromotorsport Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 Demon Thieves or any Castrol dealer can get it in for you ... When the local Halfords had their service center i used to have to have the 2.8i capris up here for them to do the axle oil changes ... they couldnt get the oil in apparently , its a non stock item .. LOL.

Admin Vista Posted March 11, 2007 Admin Report Posted March 11, 2007 When I had my last 2.8i special I used to buy LSD oil across the counter at my local main Toyota dealer, they kept it in stock as the Supras needed it. They might still do now

Rick Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 forgive me here but nevr understood the difference in oils? feel free to explain to me. as long as it lubes it does the job right? bit of margarine and shel be fine
BIG G Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 ford still stock it as ive recently bought it. they stock it for capris still (i knew capris had a purpose in life)
Admin Vista Posted March 11, 2007 Admin Report Posted March 11, 2007 forgive me here but nevr understood the difference in oils? feel free to explain to me. as long as it lubes it does the job right? Oils are made for lots of different things, cooking oil for instance is essentially an oil, but would you put it in your engine? Viscosities are different, additives are different, the pressures they can withstand are different, the rate they dissipate heat is different etc etc etc. Oil composition is a science on its own mate, not really one most of us need to understand. All we need to know is which one to use and when.
