Hi I have heard of it, but had no dealings with it. I think it is a 5w-30 or 5w-40 and has a reduced ash content, so it would be suitable as a top up for most things. To be honest, if your oil is low, putting something in is better leaving it, even if the oil is not exactly the correct spec. Cheers Tim

No, the Start Stop is the same oil. Castrol have re-named some of their oils without making any changes.

Hi The Stop Start is the same as the older version, it is fine to use. Cheers Tim

Hi Lukas What oil did you use for the change? Cheers Tim

Hi Is it the standard diff or an aftermarket one? If it's the standard one, it doesn't need a LSD oil, a GL5 75w-90 will be fine for it. Cheers Tim

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. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-970-limited-slip-diff.aspx Cheers Tim
