United Kingdom 2003 Defender 90 Td5 SW Alpine White
Diff Oils
Changed the front Diff oil today as it looked iffy.

Put in a Fuchs Titan gear oil HYP90 (80w90) API GL5

Is this ok?? Question Question

Manual says EP90, but couldn't get any this afternoon.

I had in Difflock 2, which is a fully synthetic 75w90 gear oil, so I am presuming the Titan oil will be ok at least in the short term.

That is what I use (and also GL-5). Does not last as long as a synth though (30-40kkm) unless there is any H2O. Puma 110" SW
