Chris32 Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Allot of the drift guys on ns.com are using some type of Penrite oil, I might give the Castrol a run How often do you guys change your mech. lsd oil?

Bl4cK32 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I run redline. It might be overkill, but i like things running smooth, so id say 10,000kms change it....unless someone else knows the proper service intrevals on a mechanical diff....it aint hard to do either way..

treo Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 In my tomei i use Castrol SAF-XA 75W160 i think its about $27 a litre. I originally used some motul stuff however my 2way was really noisy and clunk heaps when i got told it would be one of the quieter 2way's. Also alot of my friends who drift all use penrite limslip which ive been told is good for much cheaper Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78713-oil-for-mechanical-lsd-diff/#findComment-1439593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 TT Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Anyone using redline shockproof heavy? Have used it in previous cars yes. Its the ultimate in shear load protection... If you really want the low down on what Redline product for what application, give Tim a ring at WestRacing on 08 94461913. He's full bottle. On the oil change interval. Well - how long is a piece of string I guess. Depends how hard its driven and what parts are getting loaded the most. A 6 sec Drag car throws away the oil after one race meet (or more!) even if the oil is untouched. For me, I'd prob check the diff oil at 5,000km and 10,000km to see how its fairing. If it looks good I'd be happy to leave diff oil in for 20,000 to 30,000km no probs if its a good oil. A race car probably wouldn't... Let's face it though, No one ever did any harm changing their oil a little more often than needed. So if you can afford to change it more often - do it.

Steve Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 85W/140 - seems to work well, diff isnt too noisey - which is handy when you are running all aluminium pineapples. ALOT cheaper than the Castrol SAF-XA 75W160, which I probably would run if I had the $$ to, or the sponsorship like some on here Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78713-oil-for-mechanical-lsd-diff/#findComment-1441073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzzurrA Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 would you guys recommend these oils for a factory GTS-t LSD? (That frequently single-wheels anyway, only picking up 2 wheels occasionally, so i have the suspicion that it is indeed farked) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78713-oil-for-mechanical-lsd-diff/#findComment-1441981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
