I haven't done mine yet, someone will come on and help.Originally Posted by guymaathuis
Rear Differential
There are only three oils available in the UK that have full sign-off for the unit. These are:-
Mobil SHC80W140 id
Castrol SAF-XJ 80W-140
Morris Lubricants Lodexol XFS 80W-140.
Capacity 1.6l
There are two manuals you can get to help. A Rover75/ZT one, and a Mustang one, for the engine.
(The diff is not in either)
ZTT400 SHM Pearl Black #519 "Super Brick"
ZTT260 Starlight Silver #428
ZS180 x 3: 2 x Trophy Blue Hatchbacks, 1 x Le Mans Green 4 door. (Loads of ZS bits For Sale)
ZR160 3 door XPG, Road Racer, "Rabbit" FOR SALE
Triumph Bikes x 2. 1999 Speed Triple, 2011 Street Triple
Oil I use is Castrol SAF-XJ (I think they may have just re-named it, but Google it...). Get 2 x 1 litre bottles to make the job easier to squeeze it in.
The filler plug is the large silver bolt facing you on the back of the diff. The metal subframe is shaped so that you can just about get a thin-walled socket on. I used an old box spanner. Remove and fill up to level with bottom of the hole.
If you don't know when the oil was last changed, you may as well drain it (remove the smalll bolt on the bottom of the diff casing) and re-fill with new, as the factory "running oil" is supposed to be changed from new.
Not (yet) had any issues with leaks myself, but now and again it gets mentioned. Good luck.
