What center and rear diff oil to use?

[Anonymous]

Good day!

Can you please advise what brand and grade of the center and rear differential fluid to use in your iR? I did some searching in the forum and can only find the diff oil capacity... (rear diff - 1 litre, transfer box - 1.5 litres) :roll:

I used Sillkolene Syn5 from the oilman. Expensive stuff (generally, oilman cheaper) but very good.

As Rob said, its the same as the gearbox.

GO THE REDLINE!!
That stuff rocks! My mate drove my car when I first got it, I put Redline MT90 in and he had another drive 9 months later and he thought I had replaced my gearbox!
I have heard shockproof lightweight is even better 8)
