mrkim_ Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hi guys, its the time of the year that I need to change my rear diff and front diff's oil (according to service manual). I was just wondering what you guys use for the both front and rear diff oils, how much it needs (in qts or L), and what oil grades I need to buy (Manual saids API GL-5 and SAE 80W-90 and do I need LSD additive?). FYI, rear diff is LSD and I am assuming front diff is LSD as well. My pathy is 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 there is a thread on this in the R50 section. and LSD would be rear and you'll have an open front diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Mobil 1 75W-90 can be obtained for cheap if you order online from Advance Auto Parts and use discount codes (Google for them). You can get 5 quarts for about $35. No LSD additive is required with M1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
