pooh Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 So have I got this straight? For a X flow, 4spd, LSD: Mobil 1 racing for the engine, and Castrol Hypoid 90 for gearbox and LSD? Also can anyone recommend a manual for the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Some kind X-flow chaps will confirm, but I would agree with the Mobil 1 for the motor, the Castrol Hypoy 90 is for LSD's and search the archive for gearbox oils, I use Castrol EP80 which is a GL4 in my Cat 6 spd. As far as a manual is concerned, someone more knowledgable will be along in a second.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 For engine and gearbox - Haynes manual for Mk2 Escort Van, salooon and Estate (NOT the RS models). Or an elderly build manual from Caterham. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 X/F engine Mobil motorsport or Mobil 1 fully synthetic 0w/40 or Comma 5w/40 fully synthetic. Gearbox 75/90ep oil gives a better gear change from cold and is a semi synthetic giving better performance through its service life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
