Diff oil grade? MT75 oil?

Postby Eggski » Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:41 am

Ohh so many questions tonight!

What grade of oil is in a diff?

I need to reseal the backing plate on my diff this weekend as its leaking so need to know for refilling it.

Also is all MT75 gearbox oil the same or is one make known to be better than the rest?

the oil for the gearbox is called mt75 . you can ask for Morris mt75 cans . Final drive takes 90-140 EP gearoil.

It's like that simply because everytime you use a bottle, no doubt some of it ends up on your clothes!!!... I think it's to annoy women!
