P/S fluid and diff oil

[vs_dumped]

hey all im just wanting to know how much P/S fluid and diff oil a VS will take as i have to flush the P/S fluid and change the diff oil. Thanks

man I hate the smell of diff oil....

Power Steering = Approx 650 Mls Auto Transmission Oil Dextron II or III
Diff Oil = 1.7 Ltrs SAE 90 for V6 or V8 is 80W-140W This is Solid Diff
IRS Diff = 1.65 Ltrs
Check with the salesperson as to what diff oil is best, tell them if the diff is LSD, IRS or conventional.

whats the intervals k's for diff oil?

Power steering I reckon should be done every 40k, as it is a thin oil (same with trans)

[VRAddiction]

diff is like 50k i thinks

[Harvs82]

I don't think there is actually a specified interval for diff oil replacement.... but it wouldnt hurt in replacing it every 40-50,000kms

Is there a drain plug on the solid diff or do u have to remove the back plate in order to change the oil?

Solid diff being Live rear axle? From memory there is two plugs on the back of it, one half way up, and the other near the bottom, obviously the one at the bottom will drain the diff.

For the Independent rear end diff, drain point is on the bottom, filling point is on the right hand side, looking at the diff from the back of the car.

Limited Slip Diffs are labelled "High Performance", if in doubt, check your compliance plate, it will be stamped in there.

RTFM. It's the most reliable info you'll get.

Cheers, yeh meant live axle, will get onto that asap as i dont know if its ever been done as its not in the logs.

650mls for the whole power steering system? just sounds like it would need a bit more. Thanks for the help guys

The p/s capacity is 650mls.

Buy 1 litre of p/s fluid as you will have to bleed the p/s system therefore requiring more than 650mls.

if the tag is labeled "High Performance" its a single spinner only. the HP means the internals are shot peind. the tag will have "LSD" if its an LSD diff, may also have "High Performance LSD"
