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.

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.

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
