"Dunno, but u cant get it from Ford, only £2 i think for abottle but u need 2"

I thought it was EP 80/90 or something, available from any shop? Ive got 5 litres of gearbox EP80 here, so wondered if I coud use that?

"does a 2wd diff fit an escos ?"

Yes mate, was told by previous owner it is a 2wd diff.

Rich, it happened when I went to "Play" with a RX7. Raced him once, but everyone wasn't happy that I got infront from the line and stayed in front all the way down (He couldn't close the gap and I couldn't pull away), so went back to the line and as soon as I launched all the heard was "BANG" Limped her home around 1am

80w-90 mineral or 75w-90 semi or fully synthetic. Depends what you want to spend but the higher the spec, the more expensive.

Diff oils are GL5 and Gearbox oils are GL4
