Differential oil

[Bluebird65]

Hi can someone tell me what oil is required for a 1997 1.9 Automatic Roadster for the differential
Thanks for letting me join the group and thanks in advance for any advice trying an oil change before I need to change differential if this helps

Make sure you can undo the fill plug before you undo the drain plug! And go for a drive before you drain to warm the oil. I used 75-90 in my 2001 1.9. Takes just over a litre iirc. You’ll also need two replacement aluminium crush washers. It’s not a difficult job.

M22 x 27 x 1.5 are the crush washer size you need. Cheap on eBay…

Pardon our interruption...

Welcome - I used Fuchs Titan Syn 5 - 75w90 - about 1.1 litre required. Agree with previous comments on new crush washer - I re-used one once and it leaked!
