[Fot] Diff lube

[Paul Ricco]

We have been running Redline Lightweight ShockProof in ours with a Detroit Locker.  We change it every 5th event and it comes out looking exactly the same as the new stuff that we are putting in.  WNo signs that it has been burnt, beat-up or that it has dissolved anything that it should not have.  So far, so good.

>> Hi - if you are running a Quaife, the Redline should be okay. The only reason it would not be okay would be if you were still running the stock differential center section which has brass / bronze (aka "yellow metal") parts. The shockproof stuff is API GL5 and that will eat the yellow metal. But the Quaife internals are all steel, so GL5 should not be a problem.
