Hi everyone
I am a newby on here have just purchased our first S2000
Was just wondering what differential oil to use does anyone recommend anything?

 

Hi Steph,

I use Motul 90 PA Lubricant limited slip differential (LSD) Extreme pressure, just changed mine again this weekend in fact.

Get it from Opie at a good price if you are a S2KUK member (sign up on their site) 2L is enough for two Diff changes.

Would also recommend purchasing one of these if you are doing it yourself -

- The Nozzle also happens to fit a Honda MTF3 bottle so you can flush the line and use it to do your gearbox oil aswell!

You will also need a 23mm ring spanner to remove the filler bolt (no space for a standard socket)

Other than that you are ready to go!

Enjoy! and welcome!

That's what i use too.

 

Motul that was suggested is very good I use LE differential oil but is hard to find and ia bit expensive but it is worth the money. Another good oil for the diff is the Amsoil one

 

Castrol EPX 80W90 is another option, readily available at Halfwits and OK price. Squeezy bottle too with a spout, it's easy to squirt in with an extra length of pipe.

 

I use Redline 75w90

 

Thanks Guys for that!!
While i am the subject of oil has anyone used zx1 as i have had it recommended to me as regards to ware on the TCT, chain and guides so hopefully we don't get all this ticking that i have been reading up on! as it seems to be a common thing.
Also not sure if to put a drop in the Diff too as it is a friction eliminator ?
