Don\'t use any redline oil in your diff

I have a Cusco RS 1.5 way diff and I used both Redline Shockproof Super Lighweight and Heavy in my diff over the last 4 months (at quite a cost) and it\'s terrible.  It made the diff clonk and grind so much so it felt like the car was falling apart.  I\'ve changed back to Kaaz Diff Oil and it\'s 1000000000 times better.

I highly reccomend the Kaaz Oil and the price of it is much more appealing than the Redline Stuff.

I can highly recommend the Silkolene Syn 5, we use it in high performance diffs and gearboxes.

Yeah the Kaaz stuff is 75w90

Tbh most 75w90 diff oil will be fine - such as the one suggested by dragon.

I must say tho - the redline oil works a treat in the gearbox itself just not the diff!
