Seems this thread just will not go away Laughing

Surprised Mitsi said it was ok to use GL-5 Shocked

But then have heard tails of different dealers giving conflicting info on this Shocked

Like I said earlier the two are completely different in viscosity so don't believe a diff designed to use one can be run safely on the other.

Like heli-john said even if you don't take her off road there are still times that it will kick in. I've felt mine when pulling out of a tight junction at speed, one wheel starts to spin a bit then the lsd sorts it out. Haven't even had mine during a winter yet but sure it will get plenty of use then.

Personaly I wouldn't run mine without the proper stuff even if this main dealer said it was ok. Bet if you damage it they will change their tune pretty darn quick Evil or Very Mad

After all if GL-5 was ok, how could they get away with charging £10+ a litre for their own lsd oil?

OK Chaps, I have read and debated, pondered and thought and finally given in and phoned Castrol Direct to order CASTROL HYPOY LS at a cost of £26.50 inc p+p, it will be hear in a day or two and then it will replace the 80/90 GL-5. Brian BJ28T

Just changed the oil in my rear diff for Hypoy LS.What a difference,the old oil did not look like lSD oil and i used to get a knock when the box changed gear,since the new oil no knock. Very Happy

Nice to hear of the improvement. All the oils coming out of my motor were like thick mucky coke and nothing like what was going in!
