We are getting close to cranking up the project car and I've been trying to search up a gearbox oil recommendation.

Nothing on the Quaife site or on here that I could find that recommends which oil to use in the box with the Quaife diff in it.

Any suggestions?

I was wondering why I had so much Hypoid 80/90 on the shelf. Obviously, the geared Quaife is different from a clutch pack slippery diff - so doesn't need the additives eh?

Hi

Even the clutch pack type LSDs in VW use hypoid oil, there is no other way than to share the gearbox oil.
