[Zumbruk]

What kind of oil should I put in the diff of my (non-Hydratrak) '97 Chim 450?

Check the owners manual...? it states fluid specs in there.

Just had my Cerb diff rebuilt by alan voight (he advertises in the TVRCC sprint mag) - he recommended a product from millers oil...I'll try and find the spec / type...having said that maybe the chim diff is different..?

how about speaking to Opie?

D'oh. I should have thought of that. [Rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage, bugger, rummage, rummage, damn, rummage, rummage] Ah, *there* it is.

Wonder what that means?

And the diff has more oil in it than the gearbox. Who'd have thought?

I use this in my 98 chim with a BTR diff good for LSD
