      Ian,

      The rear axle uses 1.3 ltrs of oil (ish!!). The oil Spec should be a GL5 and its SAE90.

      As for what's best, anyone else???

      I posted the procedure for this a while back, more than likely in the Transmission section, have a search for it.

          I'd personally use Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Oil

              Thanks Martyn
              Do you mean you posted it on this forum, or on S2Central2 (old yahoogroups)?
              I cannot find it here.

                  Always the way!! never can find it when I want it ;-)

                  I'm sure it was under transmission, going back over a month on this forum. I'll post it to you with those bolts I have to send you tomorrow.
