SP250 EP90 back axle oil =

Post by Hamish »

Hi
I'm struggling to got hold of EP90 for the back axle of my SP

Can I use the more plentiful EP80W -90 GL4 mineral oil ?

I can't get on the old site to look as I am sure the answer is there
Cheers

I've used Castrol Classic EP90 in my SP axle. It is easy to find and is suitable for both Spiral Bevel and Hypoid rear axles. No problems to date.

Thanks for the pointer Vortex but hoping to find something on the shelf locally then the postage isn't the same price as the item !!

Fair point Hamish. Still, here's some, 95p more and free postage!
