Hi all, did a quick search, but couldn't find anything obvious, so apologies if this is a duplicate thread. I've got a late 2003 T350t and am looking to change the diff oil and also the brake fluid. Can anyone suggest what grade oil I need for the diff and also what dot rating fluid I should use? The car is stock and will be used for fast road use, possibly a track day (although this won't be for lots of laps without a break, so brake fade isn't something I am concerned/focussed on).

Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks for the reply. That site suggests the diff oil should be 80w140 and you need 1.7 litres of it. Do you happen to know if the T350 is the same as the Sagaris as far as that goes?

It also mentions that you use standard DOT4 brake fluid, but it doesn't mention how much you need for a full change - any ideas anyone?

thanks again!

I'm sure the diff and brakes on the T350 and Sag are the same. As fas as how much you need sorry I can't help, I just had my Diff oil changed but it was during a service so no records of how much was used. Someone will be along soon to answer I'm sure.
