    Which oil to use - Salisbury with ARB?

    Which oil to use - Salisbury with ARB?

    Salisbury oil quantity

    Advice seems to be based on diffs with cast covers with poorer heat shedding ability

    With no cast cover I think I’ll go back to 80w 90..... same oil through the whole driveline.... big difference between a Detroit unlocker and an arb Locker ... no specifics or warranty violations on the Ashcroft in the front

    Thanks Dave ....seems to me that having the same oil throughout the drive train is a better way to go...I’m not towing and if it’s over 35c I’m not driving for hours lol
    Interesting that the oil use in an emergency is so broad
