Rear axel oil

[ronnie]

Hi all . I've just drained and filled my rear dampers and they seriously needed it . Going to drain and fill the back axel now am I right assuming its EP 90 and can anyone tell me the quantity ?? Also what oil does the gearbox take

[mike.perry]

Engine oil in the gearbox, EP 90 in the diff. Fill until it trickles out of the filler hole

Thanks mike . I don't have any EP90 so was looking to find out whither I need a pint or 4 pints

[Roni]

Rear axle = 1.75 pints (1.05l) Ep90

[mike.perry]

The workshop manual says 1.5 pints, unless you want to make a mess on the garage floor

We must have different manuals, that was where my figure came from. I don't go by volume too much, just filling to the bottom of the filler plug, with a drip tray underneath to keep it all clean.
