Dynolite diff oil

[trigolf]

Afternoon all,

Just bought a recon diff from Fitchetts and will be fitting it next week hopefully. Browsing ' tinterwebb, I see that Dynolite do a " No Noise EP85W-140 oil. It's GL5 spec but clearly states that its compatible with bronze,copper and brass components. I'm hoping the diff will be quiet anyway, but wondered about filling it with this stuff to give it the best chance of a reasonable lifespan. Anyone tried it?

I use it all the time, bought it from Paddocks when passing by Chester. Seems ok, the diff was quiet before and is still quiet after, but what the long-term effects will be is too early to say otherwise than to hope I don't find out the hard way.

Thanks Colin. I'll give it a go. Just got to summon the enthusiam to crawl underneath and haul out the old diff and swap in the replacement!

What price are Fitchetts charging for a diff?

For a 3.89 recon, £930.00 ( includes £300.00 surcharge). Could'nt afford new Crw/p. I've only just crawled out from underneath, after wrestling it in. Knackered now!

Thanks, yes I thought that it would be fun to refit when I was dropping mine out.
