Thumbs up Rear Diff Oil Question

Hello,

Its that time again where I want to change the rear diff oil on my S. Previously I was using Castrol stuff which were synthetic. However I am planning on changing it to Silkolene BOA 90 LS - which is mineral base.

Have anyone used this before and is it okay to change to mineral base oil without damaging my diff?

Thanks,

Eric

Its one of the 2 recommended oil on Opie's website... and both of the recommended oil seems to be mineral base.

I'd stick with what you were using if there's no reason to change.

If you can get your hands on the LE 1605 almasol diff oil i suggest you use that as i believe is one of the best Especially because you have the same colour like me
