    Smile Salisbury oil quantity

    I have just fitted one of those SOLID or ROCKBUSTER Dana diff covers to the Salisbury on my County and was wondering if anyone can advise me the correct quantity of oil to put in the diff. The inspection/filler plug is a lot higher on these and I want to raise the level a bit to ensure oil to the stubs/wheel bearings but I am unsure how much is advisable to put in there. Any help appreciated...Brian

    The bottom of the filler is about level with the top of the axle tubes. I think this is a bit too high.

    It will only go on 1 way. I am pretty sure someone has talked about the quantity before. I would imagine about a quarter to halfway up the axle tube would be ok. Too much and there is nowhere for expansion to go.

    nope...

    They are designed for a high pinion diff, so the filler is well above the axle centreline.
    The correct quantity for a Sals is approx 2.3 litres, but I fill mine with at least 3 litres so it lubricates all the way down to the wheel bearings too.
    I was running probably 3.5 litres for close to 18 months.

    I have been advised not to fill up to the higher filler hole level. My workshop manual says 2.3 litres for the rear Salisbury diff.

    they're Rover diff quantities, not a Salisbury.
