Krazy Kyle Get It To Wheelspin Uncontrolably Then Give It Another 5 Pounds Cruise Control 2,697 Member For: 13y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Work Posted 12/01/11 03:27 PM Share Posted 12/01/11 03:27 PM did mine 2day, 20k on the clock, was pretty dirty, went for a spin and no more LSD noise when moving into parking spots and into the driveway. Castrol synthetic, took most of 2 bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excess will leak out but hang around causing oil stink as diff heats up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of room under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getuted Member 34 Member For: 14y 10m 10d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 27/01/12 02:53 PM Share Posted 27/01/12 02:53 PM I've use the castrol safxa in mine every 8000k since it was new and it's now got a 130000k on it with 306 rwkw for most of them and the LSD is still really tight, I think 50k is way too long to let it go especially when it's an easy job and cost $60 for 2 bottles at stupid cheap auto.

slygary Member 31 Member For: 11y 3m 6d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 15/08/13 07:42 AM Share Posted 15/08/13 07:42 AM I changed the diff oil today in my FG MKII Turbo ute, I used Castrol syntrax 80w-140 full synthetic. I loved the smell of the oil. But later on I had a look in the service manual and found the service intervals for the turbo utes, very short ? every 7,500km, and also noticed there should be some friction modifier added. Is it really needed ? Or just an old wives tale ? Pics of the service manual pages below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys where I got my ute (Subaru Glen Waverley) quoted me over 300 to change the oil... with the "special ford stuff" that will make all those damn noised go away.Thought it was a load of crap...I hate doing diff oil though, that stuff stinks to high hell.But hey, for the money I save I can pick up a new jack, some ramps AND the oil......Unless it's on it's guts or your gut is the limiting factor hahaYeah.... I cant see me fitting underneath the ute.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the top of that service interval it says for vehicles operated under severe/unusual conditions. So you need to find the other page that probably says 30,000 or 60,000 between services (I'm guessing the figures there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
