Super_Rich_Bernie Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I understand its a good idea to overfill the diff oil on Live Axle cars to counter oil surge on cornering. Either through the breather, or by filling with the back of the car jacked right up. I think this tip came from Derek Moore at Classic Carriage when I collected my car. The axle is the only weak part on the 8v Vauxhall cars - otherwise they are pretty much bulletproof. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK WARREN Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Before overfilling it may be worth asking if there are any extra baffles in the axle, I think they are sometimes added. Good luck, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
