quaife diff oil

i was wanting to use silkolene but cannot find it here in the U.S. i have my quaife lsd but not installed yet but the company i bought my diff from recommended the motul gear 300 LS 75w90.... the "LS" stands for limited slip. you will need anywhere from 1.2 liters to 1.6 liters so i just bought 2 liters to cover it all. hope this helps out.

Is that what they call "Motul Blue" or is that something else??

I thought I had some notes from a conversation with Bruce (T/T/M) about Motul Blue as his preferred fluid, but I may have heard that wrong....

Your real problem is the quaife goes in your car not your kitchen. We use Mobil 1 spec'd by MB. Don't forget these don't have clutches in them so you don't need "limited slip" fluid.

Actually, you NEVER need that ****

All it does is allow the friction plates to slip easier. Hence they wear faster and the posi does not work as well. The drawback, it will make a little noise in the parking lot.

That stuff actually wrecked an auborn diff in my track car, as Ford through it in without my knowledge.

PS: Mobil one or redline works great
