04 E85 3.0 Auto Diff Oil

[cmaza]

Hi all,

I'm looking to change my diff oil. Iv ordered this oil from eurocarparts:

The grade seems to be correct but the LS bit is throwing me off since I don't believe my zed has a LSD...?

Can anyone suggest an alternative oil?

Thanks

Cmaza

Think the equivalent used to be Castrol SAF-XO. You should only need 1 litre for a change and I'd go for the fully synthetic over the semi, but as they have red line in stock that would be my preference £19.49 with discount.

Thanks for your reply. I take it you mean this one:

Or maybe the NS would be better, I'm not sure it really matters for the open diff.

I got my diff oil done couple of months ago and used the red line, required a new deal also, takes just over 1 full bottle of oil as its an American Litre which is just short of a litre so buy 2.
