Hi all, I am sure this question has been asked a million times before but is there a difinitive answer to what engine, gearbox and dif oil I should be using in my 2wd Cossie running around 280 bhp.

Thanks for your time.

 

As this is a subjective matter, you will have at least a few different opinions.
Age of engine/mileage changes things, personally I would go with Silkolene Pro S or Mobil 1, for engine, decent oil like castrol for the diff, must be LSD oil, and I use gear oil in my gearbox, but most use ATF.
Some also use Millers 10W60 in the cossie engine, as well as numerous others.

Dont you just hate subjective matters?!

Thanks for the reply, mine was rebuilt 3000 miles ago so I guess that would class it as low mileage. Looking like the Silkolene Pro S is a good choice from reading other sources.

 

Moby 1 is also very good, and can get this from the ever reliable Matt Lewis 01543 484488, you have enough miles now to use fully synthetic.

atf for the gear box
get a decent branded oil for the diff
silkolene pro s 10/50 for the engine

Pro S 10w-50 is ideal for the engine.

Take your pick of these for the gearbox
