I was under the impression that Hypoid was for open centre diffs.

LSX80 is what i was under the imprssion was the correct fluid.

ok cheers i was looking at some penrite stuff said it was for h/d and lsd,s was called limslip for memory(i think) but there was 2 weights but damo cleared that one up

80w/90 is for the open wheelers.

LSX90 for the LSD.

EF_Frmnt · 07-01-2006, 02:11 PM

mhmmm lsx90 is the stuff... fill it up til it comes out the hole

EF_Frmnt · 07-01-2006, 03:29 PM

and also putt in some anti chatter diff oil additive.. makes it a bit less likely to start making noise.

Psycho Chicken · 07-01-2006, 03:41 PM

No ammount of additive will ever shut up a BW diff.

slamd ef wagon · 07-01-2006, 05:29 PM

so will this penrite limslip stuff do it comes in 80-90w and 90-140w i think

worked wonders for mine.

I use Penrite 10/10ths SYN GEAR 80/140

On the topic of LSD oils. If a LSD is starting to single spin in certain situations is it worth replacing the oil or is the LSD shagged?

Thats what I use. I've just done my first diff oil change to Penrite 10/10ths SYN GEAR 80/140 and it seems to of made a big difference. Doesnt feel as sloppy in the diff now.
I dont think I'll use anything else.

I use Penrite all through my car ie diff, gearbox and engine.

naughtyfalcon · 08-01-2006, 11:24 AM

ford use and recommend;

EP LS SAE 90

Shagged. Join the shagged BW owner's club. Cone packs are crap.

Kenaz · 08-01-2006, 12:46 PM

I wasn't refering to burnouts in my post before anyone jumps to conclusions. It's mostly turning right.

the standard and single spinner are the same,the lsd has two cone shaped clutches which the axles slide through,,when you loose traction in one wheel it transfers the power to the other,there by limiting the slip,where as a standard or single spinner will just spin one wheel.

hope that helps,,i don't want to quote the whole book..

FordFan86 · 19-01-2006, 10:26 PM

I swapped the fluid in my diff awhile ago (3.27LSD) Went down to Sprint auto, told him what I wanted and just to give me the best stuff they had...
SAF-XA
80W-140
Fully synthetic.
Bottle says for all Ford fuel injected V8's XR6T, holden V8's etc etc. $21 for a litre... Liquid gold.

svo347 · 19-01-2006, 10:28 PM

Liquid gold... Try Redline.

I'm using that as well, good stuff, now I can barely hear the diff over the gearbox.....

$21 is cheap, I paid $25.95 a litre.

Simmo · 20-01-2006, 12:43 AM

i use the penrite limslip 80w gear. seemed to help the first time i changed the oil, but my diff is well and truly rooted now.

santoitaliano · 08-06-2006, 12:14 AM

redline is great but ing expensive..

BI6TIM · 08-06-2006, 07:31 AM

Redline is clearly the best available but then for the price isn't practicle for most.
Don't much around with that light wieght crap ford recomends, go the 'Penrite Limslip 85W-140'. I've been using this oil in LSD's eversince I've had them and I got 2 years out of a second hand diff ( most of the guys in QLD know how I treat my diffs ).

Any good diff and gearbox builder should recomend this to you.

Rollin · 08-06-2006, 05:14 PM

The additive is a friction modifier - it just makes the oil 'more slippery' - so it will make your LSD more likely to single wheel...just use straight gear oil. LS90 or LSX90 is reccomended, though anything that says it is for BW LSDs is fine - my preference is the heavier the better...
