dont know if what im saying is right or a load of old dogs. I changed the rear diff on my 90 and when I asked what oil to put in the axle I was told EP90....?

Hope this is right, if not someone feel free to correct me!

Cheers
Tim

EP90 in the axles & transfer box & ATF in the gearbox,for LT77's use dex 2 spec & for R380's & autos use dex 3 spec ATF

I use 15W 40 diesel engine oil, ep90 (shell call it Spirax) in axles and transfer gearbox, and atf in the gearbox (shell call it Donax)

In your swivel houses use ep90 if the seals are ok, if not use one shot grease, i think paddocks have a deal on at the moment!

I am also thinking of changing the oil in the axles & transfer box. what does all of the above mean in laymans terms (I'm a bit thick !) I have a 110 CSW..Whats a LT77 or a R380?

cheers

As far as oil changes go I prefer to do them in the autumn, more light, less rain and ready for the winter session. Any contanimate in the oils they get emptied, if still clean just top up. Any doubt the thing gets dropped and changed
