I use Torco 80W-90 gear oil in the axle.. It has a limited slip additive. I have run out and need some before I can go this week end. Anyone got some? Know where I can get some? OR have/Know an altenative oil I can use? Call me on 07763 288122 or 01763 222482.
Please?

Look in your Yellow ages for an oil supplier Jeff. Most tractors use this stuff or something very close. I use agricultural limited slip diff oil in my axle. It is CHEAP but does the same job.

Just pop into your local Chrysler dealer mate, they sell it in little bottles for Jeeps !

I have a big bottle of Kendall LSD Oil, but not the small additive bottle.

Is the oil ok by itself? or does it need addative?

You do need the additive Jeff, it's a 'friction modifier' without which the suregrip may not work properly.
I used LSD oil from Shell, (i.e. it's the oil with the additive already in it) got it in my local spares place, I spoke to Shell about it and it is the right stuff. I have some left but not sure it would be enough. Let me know if you want me to check,

I use the Kendall stuff with no LSD additive as it says it's okay on the bottle. I asked Paul Mitchell (White Whale GSX Buick) who builds our rearends

and he said it is okay. My SureGrip seems to work okay. Have I been a bad boy?

Gavin.
If you can check for me, that would be great. I do not need much. I do pass your way in the evenings.
I have a few options now, so I should be OK for the HRDRAGS!
Have a big bottle full of gas now too.
I could do with some new plugs! What are recommendations at short notice.
Nowt like leaving it till the last min. eh?

Well thanks Alex.... I have a bottle of "Mopar" LSD additive. And Joe is picking up some oil!
It has been quite a intetresting thing this.... I have found a very good supplier of oils, Mineral and synthetic, he also stocks Earls hoses and fitments at a good rate, plus a lot of other stuff... Gave me a great discount too! All I gotta do is put his stickers on me car!
