Hi all.. about to do a gearbox and diff oil change and I was just wondering how much I need before I go out to buy it.

General consensus on these forums seems to be around 3.5-3.8L for the gearbox but nobody has mentioned how much they used in the diff. Does anyone recall how much they used last time they changed the diff oil?

Thanks :D

Pretty much the same for all R200 diffs - 1.5L.

Anyway just fill it up until oil overflows out the filler hole.

Thanks for the replys guys. ;)

Matt how do you know me so well? :confused:

martied, as Gizmo73 has already mentioned I'm going to use Royal Purple Max Gear 75W90 for both the gearbox and diff.. just picked it up today actually :) Very much looking forward to getting it done on the weekend!

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
