I Think The Wrong Diff Oil Was Used In My R32

[ryan101]

hi all,

the other day i had my diff oil changed ( i think he used a penrite lsd oil), i think it was 85w-140 ( i had a quick look at the bottle) in my factory diff ever since then it has been abit whiny at about 80km no matter if in in 4th or 5th but when im on 100km its not to bad?

also on deceleration it whines!

i also had pinapples put in the same time, would they cause the diff to sound louder then it actually is?

ever since i got a the car it had a slight whine, thats why i wanted it changed maybe the oil was too thin?

what do other people use?

cheers

If the pineapples are metal, you'd expect more noise but I don't know what the noise would be. You can get urethane/neoprene/whatever its called pineapples that wont transmit noise.

A normal (non-LSD) diff oil should be used with the standard diff. Something like 80w90...

Although they are LSD they are viscous, not mechanical so don't need true LSD oil & 85w140 is getting bloody thick!
