ridingtom Member 75 Member For: 16y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 25/08/10 11:21 PM Share Posted 25/08/10 11:21 PM I've read the how to on diff oil but am wondering what everyone uses and recommends for engine and diff oils. Looking at using "Royal Purple" oils as only heard good things about it. car is a 09 FG F6 ute with 39,000km. not worried about prices really as I don't do that many KM's and you pay for what you get!

Read the manual carefully for quantities as there are 3 different diffs. Do a search in the forums ref engine oils.

As stated above with the diff dont overfill it.
