R32 Gtr Rear Diff Oil

[SiR_RB]

Just after the name and viscosity of the diff oil to use in my r32 gtr rear diff (non v-spec) everyone is saying different things, so I need to make sure what to use before I go buy the oil.

Thanks

Nissan specifies 80w90 iirc, I used Redline 75w90 Gear Oil, just make sure it's compatible with LSDs (Viscous type to be particular, GL4/GL5 will do)

I have been using the 80W140 Redline gear oil for many years - seems to work well.

Cheers, gonna go to justjap tomorow and pick some up.

Can anyone recommend any motul diff oil?

Thanks

Motul don't really make any gearoils for hypoid LSDs (I mistakingly referrer to it as a viscious LSD), there is 90PA but it's mineral based http://www.motul.com.au/product_line_up/gear_box/gear01.html

There is a 100% synthetic one called "FF-LSD type 2", it's way more expensive and it's really meant for front wheel drive applications, but it's compatible with hypoid LSDs http://www.motul.co.jp/eg/product_line_up/...box/gear13.html

better to use 100% synthetic oil in the diffs or is mineral ok aswell? whats the difference?

MOTUL 90 PA LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL FLUID

Specially designed for limited slip differential and hypoid gear rear axles, this high performance mineral gear oil is perfectly suited for use in racing cars, 4 x 4's and passenger cars. If you have aftermarket clutch type LSD's (Nismo, KAAZ, Cusco, Mazda Comp. etc.) this oil is meant for your clutch type LSD. API GL5, MIL-L-2105-D, ZF TE ML.

Mineral in theory won't last as long as a full synth.
