oil for lockers

Post by ozy1 »

i have recently purchased an MQ, and have been trying to work out what is in the read diff, i have narrowed it down to some sort of auto locker,

my question

what oils do all the differnt auto lockers use? is there one that will suit them all?
i do not want to pull the diff apart.

i installed a powertrax(lock-rite) locker in my zook and the manual recommended 85w/140 to make it quieter and smoother in operation so thats what i used ;)

pretty sure you can use 80/90 as well.
