What oil are you Quaife equipped boys running?

Hey

Interested to hear feedback on the options for a VW transaxle with a quaife fitted.
What are you running or what have you run?
Wjich has given the best performance in your opinion?

Cheers
Marcus

I use CASTROL epx 80/90 in my quaife gbox, which is just the stardard GBox oil.

Wow... thinking about oil already Marcus... great to know the biggest deciding factor isn't "which gives off the most heat in a bonfire" !!!

😂

I had one of Redline's oils in my Quaife box... MT90 it might have been (GL4 either 80/90 or SAE 90).

Also know of people who've run the 'Smurf's Blood' in 'em... Redline Shockproof I think it is, tho Quaife's aren't meant to be as picky as a clutch pack type of diff like a ZF...

So what you got in with the zf Dave ?

Thanks for your responses

I did read from Quaife that they did not ask for anything super special but was still interested in people's own experiences.

Yep Dave S, no bonfire sorry bud 😂

Have Castrol VMX-M I think it is in there now.

Did a bit of research and it seemed to come up trumps - especially for where not necessarily getting up to temps before leaning on it.

I used to run LS90 in mine when i had it......

I use the same in my 6spd porsche box, with a quaife diff centre.
Just don't use a light grade oil like ATF, as the stub shafts will wear quick and grab on the sprung centre.
