Unlikely What rear diff is it ? better off with a nice Motul 90. I run Redline in the box and Motul 90 in the diff and it's sweet

I'm not sure wether it's an r180 or r160 3.54 diff.
The gearbox number is TY856WN6KA if that helps?

5 litres is enough to do both the gearbox and diff unless you overfill the box, I ran millers 75w90 in my box and diff at over 500bhp no issue

Also noticed when fitting the box it looks like there are two drain plugs, is this correct and if so do I drain from both?
Cheers

Box is about 3.5 litres and sounds like you have an R180 3.54 rear diff
