prolly been asked 100 times but im asking again
i nneed to know wich oil you folks use in youre slipperys...the one in the xh has a slight whine but the car only has 146ks so im thinking its just an oil issue...so which oil,bearing in mind i want to silence the thing as well...
and how much oil does a diff take??
cheers

Nulon G70 tube with Castrol SAF-XA is what I run in my diff, it's an LSD out of an EF XR6 wagon.

Castrol SAF-XA is the fluid recomended by ford, I've got a list of the ones recomended by other oil producers upstairs I'll go and get it.

Ok, the list is:

Castrol SAF-XA (Part number 118973 for the 1 litre bottle I believe).
Mobil SHC ID.
Penzoil GPS 80W-140 (Part number is PZ1055 I believe, unsure of size).
Penrite 10 Tenths Synthetic 80W-140.
Valvolne SYN 75W-140.

I got those from looking up in the various manufacturers application books.

It takes 1.6L's of fluid.

I believe it's fully synthetic.

And as I said above I chuck in a tube of Nulon G70, that stuff is magic!

O, and as for which is the best, I have no f**k idea, sorry, but I'm running the Castrol SAF-XA with no problems, and it was Ford recomend.

sweet cheers man,im gunna do a change tommorow,i hope it knocks the whine off...so wots the cost of the oil and the nulon additive?

Nulon stuff is like $9.99 for the tube.
The oil was pretty exy as far as gear/diff oils go, reason being that it's full synthetic (I'm pretty sure it is).

I have shocking diff whine...changing the oil did bugger all...I'm thinking its time to go visit mr diff mechanic...

Might try changing oil again and adding that Nulon stuff see how it goes...
