Guys

LONG time reader, first time poster

I have a great little Jimny and need to do a few service jobs on it to keep it sweet

Ive purchased some oil to do the diffs 80w-90 GL5

But i notice on the bottle it says "limited slip" at the top

Is this ok to use, or will it be bad from the diffs

Please see pic

If it is the wrong one, could anyone link me to the correct one from eurocarparts

many thanks

Hello, i use



It is also for "limited slip" differentials

I believe :unsure:

oil "limited slip" in standard differential => ok

oil "standard" in limited slip differential => wrong

but.................. :unsure: I am not sure :unsure:

but I have used it for years without problems in the ARB (rear) and in the standard front differential

The ARB is not "limited slip" is a "full locking"
