R180 rear diff oil
 
What oil is recommended in a R180 rear diff? I've got silkolene syn 5 in there at present but about to change the box oil to Castrol - wonder if diff better with syntrax also or fine with silk?

you need a pukka LSD oil in the rear of a R180..................

neither Syn5 or syntrax are suitable to my knowledge

Craps, been running silk fully in there for a while - what would you recommend?

I use Motul 90 PA LS in my rear diff, no issues or problems

Hmm, had a reply from Silkolene technical department, they say Silk is fine in scooby rear LSD....Trouble is, not like a gearbox, you cant really feel if its happy or not.
