Hi oil, (see what I did there?!)
Just wanting opinion on oil viscosity in a gearbox with an LSD.
I have a Bacci Romano 5 speed dog box with their LSD and I trying to buy the right oil.
People who run this box in the UK say run a 75w/140 synthetic in (they are recommending lucas oils version) as the 75w/90’s is like water, when warm - but I contacted Bacci directly and they are saying 75w/90 Synthetic (and Mobil lubricants)
Ive run the latter in RWD Mk 2 escort LSD’s - but obviously, thats just the diff, not the gear box - where the X is both.
Anyone got experience of oils in these boxes and does the higher second number relay to slicker or stickier change.
Or should I just go for the Bacci recomendation? (Its not under warranty) just want to be sure if I go thiner, its not at a detriment to the gearbox gears.
Oh, and we can get redline MT90 here - its not a matter of cost (though redline is 2x more!!), just want to ensure the best for the box
Cheers,
Dave
