LSD oil

[nero279]

I think i have finally found the diff oil for a 2nd gen with limited slip rear diff, which i have been looking for locally for 3 weeks and now resorted to t'internet but before i go ahead and order could one of you more knowledgable people out there please confirm,

Is this the right stuff? and how much do i need to completely drain and refill the rear diff?

OH b%&*$r, forgot the link - this

http://www.difflock.com/cgi-bin/wm10...&item_id=DF497

edit: that didn't work either, hang on a minute

edit 2: oh bŁ$%&x, Item Code: DF497 on www.difflock.com, just stick DF497 in the search box in the shop section.

cant follow your links

but I got 1 litre bottles of LSD oil for difflock EP90 stuff
i think i had to buy 3 bottles, as the diff took somewhere between 2 & 3 litres of the stuff

Cheers, thanks andy, i think it's the same one then, this is what it says about it:
-------------
Racing Spec Limited Slip Differential Oil - 1 Litre - Item Code: DF497
- An SAE 90 hypoid gear oil especially formulated to ensure the correct operation of Limited Slip Differentials.

Ł5.95 (Ł7.00 inc.VAT)
-------------
I thought it was the right one but being new to doing my own servicing i thought it better to check, than post a thread in a weeks time saying my car doesn't work now what's wrong?

thanks again

We buy it by the case so if anyone ever wants some and is down this way just give us a shout - works out about Ł7

[andycook]

is Ł7 a litre Linda ?

nero279: when i last looked on difflock shop and bought the LSD oil there was only one type to choose from!

[lclascaris]

Toyota recommend Castrol LS90 hypoid oil but only sell it in 25 litre drums, you can get it in 5 litre containers from factors but it was quite expensive what I can remember.

I bought Comma Hypoid SAE80W-90 API GL5 for LSD.

Bought from Camberley Auto factors for about Ł20 for 5 litres.

hi all

thought i would add here rather than post a new thread......


after having a wheel off on the m1 (long story, painful and expensive!) i had the rear hub rebuilt than the truck fell on and slid.

since then however i keep leaking diff oil. my mech replaced some seals as recommended by milners when the axle was rebuilt but to no avail.

its stopped leaking now... presumably shes running dry. i have another seal from milners to fit - this one is metal and sits in front of the wheel bearing as it was the only one reused last time (on advice that is).

prob is i cant get anyone to have a look at it for 1 - 2 weeks as im a bit in the boonies. can anyone walk me through topping up the oil myself to see me through?

thanks guys

btw 4runner runs lovely now on replacement surf engine - thaks god. i still have a block (with screwed gears tho) and a recon rebuilt pressure tested head available from the 1kzt available.

cheers

Is this good stuff? I know of some people having real bad experiences on dodgy acid. I thought it was sold by the tab! You are talking in litres.
