Reply With QuoteIf it not an LS diff why do you need to change the oil.
There would be no advantage to changing it in a std centre diff, it won't save you fuel or wear and the diff will still last an awfully long time with the original oil in it.

Yeah diff oil only needs doing around 80-100,000 k's. And yes it IS worthwhile doing.

I just bought a Castrol LSD diff oil from Supercheap that says it won't need the additive for the LSD. Is this true? Or should I still put in the additive?
my little sleeper
the bloke from harts told me to use penrite 140 lsd oil he swears by it
Experience is a hard teacher. First you get the test, then you get the lesson.

That is true. The Castrol SAF-XA already has the additive added in the oil required for LSD's. Don't add extra. Mobil equivalent on the other hand needs additive added if you have LSD. I believe the additive is called Sturaco 7098.

I can understand some confusion concerning correct lubricants used in VZ differentials.
The first attachment from the VZ manual states that using synthetic lubricant in a non LSD 3.08 ratio differential may cause seal deterioration and lubricant leakage. The next attachment 2 pages later has a note that then recommends to use synthetic lubricant in a non LSD 3.08 ratio differential, when extended heavy towing or towing between 1600 - 2100kgs over 80km/h is carried out.
No wonder people are not sure what lubricants to use, when even Holden has contrary information.
I dropped the old diff oil in my calais today and I'm glad I did... It was so incredibly filthy and gross - it actually looked and smelt like a sloppy shit... The car's done 135000km and did some towing and dirt road driving previous to me getting it.
So yeah, I recommend changing it a little more regularly than never... maybe every 75000km (the car actually feels a little smoother now too, and the slight clunk that was present is now gone)
