Anyone recommend any of the above.Used Castrol syntrax for the gearbox but seem to remember reading somewhere thet the rear diff on the type r needs an lsd specific oil.Any suggestions on where I can get a litre bottle from also ?

Got one of these also. Isnt syntrax LSD compatible?
I know that other scoobs use the same oil in the back as they do the centre diff/gearbox:confused:

Type R`s and 22B`s have a different rear diff to other scoobs.
I think its more of a clutch type with plates and does need an
lsd specific oil.Castrol do an ls oil so I`ll probably try that.
Syntrax isn`t lsd specific.Any more input on this guys ?

what would scooby do
