oil confusion

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Well that's strange then, I put it in my diffs, T/C and gearbox, no problems here.

Where is yours leaking 'sure its not a seal/s issue of some sort?

It's not 'the stuff above' though is it ;) :lol: it's just the same 'brand' ;)

It's unlikely it's the oil causing the leaking issue anyway.
