SORRY CAN'T HEAR YOU. But I would try the Difflock fully synthetic oil. It gives me good results with better performance and mpg than mineral oil.

I would agree, fully synthetic only. Welcome to the Forum by the way.

ill agree, ive used it and engine runs much better, it did make my rear crank seal start to leak, but im assuming its old age and it just cleared the crud out, its fine after a new seal.
