- This may seem like a stupid question. Where is the oil filler plug for the differential? Does it need to be filled with EP90 and how much do I put it? cheers John ____________________________________

- John, If I remember since it's been a while, its on the side. Look for a square bolt head just like the gerabox one. Also like the gearbox you just fill until it runs out of teh hole. That's the fill

- Half right-- but it's GL5 that destroys the bronze bits, so you want to use an oil marked GL4 on the bottle. I accidentally filled my diff with Redline 75w90, which is a GL5 formulation, and let it s

- ARRGH!! -- Just filled my diff with GL-5; how do you get it back out - there doesn't seem to be a drain plug. Of course if I just wait a month it will probably all leak out! Any input will be appreci

- Two possibilities: 1. (what I did:) get a pro, like ohmaybe Phil Esposito at Quantum Mechanics, 203-459-9612 not to drop any names or anything... to drill and install one. 2. undo the bottom half d

- Yeah, I was going to mention that, but I don't have any direct experience and didn't know which diffs had them. I thought it was just the early Heralds... but then I've never even seen a Herald. He

- Douglas, I'm not home so I could not look at the plastic bottle to see. Copper/bronze, I believe it's the copper in the bronze that it reacts with so I was sort of correct. I suspect that the specks
