Are all 260 rear diffs all the same?

[Gaz]

Ugly rumour, again. The diffs should have had an initial oil change after about 1000 miles I understand, which sometimes wasn't done apparently. Beyond that however the oil change is at 150k miles, or 10 years, whichever is sooner. I don't call that a "fairly regular schedule" ! Mine, which still runs perfectly and no whines or clonks, was changed for the first time at 200k miles when I acquired the car. Using the correct oil is absolutely imperative.

I don't know where you are getting all this fake news from, but I think you should really change your reading habits!
When/if you finally do buy a 260, and become a full member, you will find lots of reliable information here to help you along with ownership, of course.

That's good to know!

I think I remember reading something about someone needing his diff rebuilt because the oil hadn't been changed.

Perhaps it was one of those cars you mentioned that never had it's oil changed at 1000 miles?

Either way, good to know it's a reliable unit.
