Richard from the Difflock shop will tell you if you tell him exactly what vehicle it is. Most of the people on this forum will tell you that Difflock oils, especially the synthetic ones, are very good - so put those in and don't forget the transfer box.

Price isn't everything, I cam sell you gear il for 50p per litre but there's a reason I won't put near any of MY axles!

I assume it's for your Patrol in which case Evo 2 will give you up to 3 times the service life, better protection and quieter running. Or use basic gear oils that will do the job but over 3 years will cost twice as much without the advantages.

Wasn't recommending cheap oil just that ASK will do good quality oil at the best prices I've found. For instance when I was using Valvoline VR1 I was buying at at £5-10 (per "gallon") cheaper than anywhere else and no postage with it being just a few miles from home - just as they are for Tony.

Perhaps, but ours is better!!!

Difflock was started as a shop with a forum attached and although the Forum has become the world renowned resource that it is, much of what we do is bringing the best tools, oils and accessories we can get at a decent price. Difflock is a business, after all. Wink
