Powr Lok LSD - Oil Change

#1 Post by Tony Burd »

I am lucky enough to have a Powr Lok LSD fitted to my car.

I want to change the oil, can anyone recommend one.

Another forum is recommending Morris XEP 80w/90 is this any good?

Cheers

Cheers for that.

I read on the Sprintparts website the original spec was Castrol Hypoy LS it seems to be available still but whether it is the same spec as back in the 70's I am not sure.

There are a few suitable oils. If they have the LS or LSD in their type name it is ok. Then it's suitable.

Thanks guys, just ordered some Millers from Opieoils.co.uk currently got an offer on for 25% off all oils, offer code MAYHEM. Not sure how long the offer is valid for.
