The brand of oil won't matter if you don't put breathers on your diffs, g-box and t-case... They'll just fill up with water again

I use the same Penrite Hypoid 80w-90 in diffs/gearbox/transfer. Never had an issue. |

Exactly
Using an expensive oil and thinking it will last longer is a false economy. Especially if it becomes contaminated with water/mud/grit/sand/whatever. Fit breathers and change your lube oils regularly and the internal parts and seals will all last significantly longer. |

there was a thread a while back with info on using an oil with the right GL number for the box, you need one that is GL4 for the box and GL5 for the rest, so you dont toast teh syncros |

Just make sure you use a 75w80 or castrol vmx 80 in your gear box. The syncros will work much better if you do. The rest 80w90 as cheep as you can get |

Castrol EPX80W90 is GL5 rated but designed for transaxle gearboxes, so can be used for synchros too |

Ok sorry for the hijack. When I bought my car I got given 2L of "castrol rear axle LSX90" oil. Is this sustable for a 1996 vitara with open diffs? Is 2l enough? |

| Post subject: | Re: Diff oils |
The LS means Limited Slip, so your oil is designed for a limited slip diff. Having said that, it won't adversely effect the diff, and being a 90W is about right |

ive go that in mine, 2l will do the rear diff easy enough |

| Post subject: | Re: Diff oils |
Yeah it says Limited slip on the bottle... Don't wanna let it go to waste. So roughly 2l per diff? Thanks fellas! |
