I find 10w-30 difficult to find. Halfords stock it in castrol... Quoted as for motor cycles about Â£32 for 4L

10w-40 is far more readily available

I did both front a rear diff las week and they both take atleast 1.5 litres of 80w90

I also used the extending neck on a 1 litre bottle. After covering about 30k mileage, mainly on road the diff oil I fetched out was in perfect condition and I regretted draining it!
