Manual box oil

[CrocodileHunter]

I want to change the gearbox oil on my car as I have no idea when it was last done.

I already have a gallon of ep 75/90 gl4/5 semi synthetic that ive had for ages that reckon will be suitable however is says that it is hypoid gear oil on the label.

I think its one of those oils that's suitable for various applications but i just wanted the opinion of others before i change it.

Would this also be suitable for the lsd?

Pic of the label below, What do people think?

Thanks, ben

Will it also be ok for the LSD?

Hi Ben

No, you need a LSD oil.

The best option is a synthetic 75w-90, like the Silkolene Syn 5, Millers CRX NT LS, Motul Gear 300LS, Red Line 75w-90 GL5 or Gulf Competition LS. A SAE90 or 80w-90 mineral oil such as Motul 90PA, Fuchs Race Gear 90LS or Gulf Gear LS 80w-90 is a good, cheaper alternative.
