What fluid and how much for d60?

[chaselee]

Ok fellas it's finally come time for the d60 swap and lift. I've looked around and done some reading but it seems that everyone has different opinions on this. I don't care what brand you use, just tell me what weight and how much is best for the d60. Thanks.

Well... what are the unlikely chances it has a LSD?

LSD?

Does it have a tag on it still? That wil tell you fluid, and if there is an L in between the gear numbers, such as 3L73, vs 3 73, you will need a bottle or two of friction modifier. They typically take 3qts or so. Either 75-140, 75-90, or 80-90.

Yes it does have the tag on it. I'll have to look and see if it has the L. What does that indicate anyway?

 

[79jasper]

That determines if it has a LSD.....
And no, not the drug..
Way I understood, if you run a synthetic, you don't need as much/if any friction modifier.

Not aware that many stock fronts are lsd. A decent 80-90 synth would be fine-- isn't there a filler plug that you fill to?

I haven't heard of a D60 front end having a LS in it. It's possible but not likely.

For fluid it is 5.9 pints of 80w90 QL or KL specs.

I used synthetic Valvoline 80w90 in my D50 and even if yours does have LS most if not all synthetics have the friction modifier in them from the factory

Definitely rare as hens teeth, but have seen them around other sites.

I tend to steer towards Lubrication Engineers products, Jim on here sells them I believe, and I know his synthetic and non synthetic fluids have the friction modifier in them already so no need to purchase additional stuff

Just finished up basically full R&R of 96 D60, I used 4.5 litres of Red Line full synthetic Heavy Duty shockproof gear oil. Iirc it’s a 75-250w, just fill till it runs out fill hole.
