Si, I wish you had an online ordering process - I've been on your site before and I get put off by the reference to Agricultural and COmmercial customers - feels like I'm on the wrong website! You don't want me to pick up the phone, do you

I've used the Silkolene BOA 90 in my new diff but I'm getting a little noise from the new final gear. I've spoken to my mechanic and we're going to see how it beds in over the next few weeks (its only done 120 miles so far) but he recommends Redline Shockproof as by far the best diff oil for our diff. Whilst he doesn't suggest it will silence the diff, he has noted it quietening some diffs.

I mentioned that there was a quesitonmark over the suitability of shockproof for our diff (I think coxmment has been made that the UK weather is not as severe as the US and therefore we have to tak eany US comments with a pinch of salt) but he uses it for a wide range of performance car diffs and swears by it. Apparently it has the EP rating of 250 but has the viscocity of a 75/90. Also the adhesion qualities of the additivies are superb, giving an added degree of protection on the interfacing parts. I'm certainly going to give it a go once I've done some more miles and I'm ready to flush out the Silkolene.

Shock proof is a good oil but only recommended for severe track use and it also doesn't ast very long. Do search for Xvipers thread on it.
