Default Diff oil change..

Hey all..
Well its time to change my diff oil. I've heard alot of good things about the Redline brand. Anyone use it? If so what type are you using?

For the diff you would be wise to invest (and yess, it is an investment) in LE607.

Luberication Engineers are in Sydney (not sure about Melb) and it's $80 a litre but if has worked for me so far.

dbzerk, that's a long way to go for a bottle of oil. It's on the other side of the Dandenong mountains, about 2km south of Monbulk. Melways map 124 D5.

I suggest you drop into your local Honda dealer and ask them what diff oil they use.

Au contrare, I suggest you call them and order a bottle and have it delivered.

Your Honda dealer will probably tell you to use gearbox oil as Honda's have the diff in the gearbox.

I've got Redline lightweight shockproof (smurfs blood) in my skyline's gearbox. Love it.

(thought I should mention something about redline... no one else seems to be).
