Paudman Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 EP90 diff oil. You can get it at most motor factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellard Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I understand that it needs to be the GL4 spec and not GL5, but that may just relate to gearboxes.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
