Er... Being an old fart and an unabashed traditionalist, I have always
been under the impression that where any gears are involved,
specifically rear axles and gearboxes, the key word in any oil used in
LBCs MUST BE HYPOID!!!
I use Castrol 80W-90 HYPOID in both components in my own blown TD and so
far, after 10,000 hard pushed miles, all appears well.
