Got a 88 reg 2WD sapphire and havent changed either of my diff oil or gearbox oil since i had the car.
Just wondered what grade and make of oil people use.
Thanks

 

 

So is the oil on the left atf.

ive used 75/90 oil in my saff cos 4x4 for years now and its been ok.

 

Ive looked and on ebay castrol do an atf oil and also ive sin a mobil do a synthetic oil for the diff called mobilube.
Would these be ok to use?

 

Hi

Is it standard or modified, road or track use?

Cheers

Tim

 

I used Silkolene Syn tran 5 fully synthetic from opie oils in all my drive train bar the transfer box

 

Just stage 1 and normal road use. Just dont want to put wrong stuff in and cause damage.

 

Hi

Thanks for that. I would go for a good ATF, like Amsoil ATF, Fuchs ATF 5000 or Redline D4 in the gearbox. Castrol Transmax Dex III, Fuchs ATF 4000, Millers ATF DM and Motul Dexron III are good cheaper alternatives.

A 75w-90 is ideal for diff

The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Redline 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Amsoil FGR are also good choices.

My rear diff is whining a bit will new fresh oil cure rhis or am I best of getting another diff.

 

Change the bearings and the seals Glenn, I done mine cost Ł45 for all the bits, dead easy to do

 

Im in the process of buying another diff now lol.

Where did you get your parts from.

 

I bought all bits from Ford but later gave Stu at MSD the seal sizes and he managed to get them in viton for me

 

Glenn take it to your local axle and gearbox work shop. Guy near me don't mine for 50 quid New seals and bearings. There have to be done correctly or your fuck it up. I believe it's something to pre-load and backlash.
