    I'm guessing the price is very special.

    Not sure you can actually buy it other than a LR dealer but the oil is Castrol SAF Carbon Mod Plus

    That exact same oil is also available as a GM part you can get from a Holden dealer. I don't have the p/n handy but a quick search will bring it up.

    Even at $80/L I'd recommend changing it regularly as my front diff had to be re-ground $1000 vs $3000 for new IIRC. I could understand long service intervals if it had a lot more than 600ml of oil, I think that's a Super-size Coke.

    92184900 is, I believe, the GM part number for the Castrol SAF Carbon Mod diff oil. Comes in an ACDelco bottle. Easier to get and much cheaper than the same stuff in a white bottle with green oval sticker on it... yes, even from a Holden dealer.

    I researched this when I thought/hoped/dreamed my RRS was fitted with the elusive e-diff (as advertised) but alas mine is one of the 81% of TDV8s where that option was not fitted... Stupid, stupid first owners... Now I wish I had the problem of sourcing this oil.

    Does the e-diff have friction plates like an LSD ? cant see why it needs special fluid if it doesn't .

    Yes it does. There is a motor which drives a multiplate clutch and gives variable lock up.

    So I've been trying to get this oil, apparently it's been superseded, the "new" product is Castrol syntrax universal plus 75w90, is this stuff the go?

    Cheers James
