Thanks.   Tom Rowe Unregistered guest Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:51 am:    Stock diff is 90w, I've been using 85w190 (or close) for about 25 years. And, yes, for all you smart asses, it isn't the same filling for 25 years ;-) Wait, it's a Land Rover, that would be impossible.   Robert Sublett (Rubisco98) advanced member Username: Rubisco98 Post Number: 649 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:34 am:    My diffs kept leaking, so I've switched over to Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, 100% Lucas, nothing else in there. No more leaks I do change it out quite often though..   Ram (Rsriprac) Member Username: Rsriprac Post Number: 13 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 02:33 am:    Thanks for the info.   Matthew E.
