    Salisbury 130 Diff. Oil

    Prolly should post this up in the technical section of our lovely website.

    Anyways, I drained my 1996 130 Salisbury sitting behind the LT95/4BD1T a few days ago to perform diff oil service after 18mths since the diff had a re-bearing/new crush tube, pinion bearings procedure done.

    I didn't actually perform this particular bunch of work. I farmed it out.

    There's a definite bronze like quality to the drained oil sufficient to coat the sides of the oil drain container after some days of sitting on top of the 44 gal drum steadily draining.

    Thoughts?

    Possibly some sort of pre-assembly lube, maybe? I used one years ago that had a coppery look to it

    Mine was a terrible colour after the first 1000km, it seems to have cleared up now. Most gearboxes and diffs will be noticably metallic on the first oil change after a rebuild

    Did you change it 1000 or so km after the rebuild or is this the very first change since?

    second oil change..
    I'm not happy with the flange...seems to have a little movement if i grab it and pull upward/downward- but it's a bit hard to tell really. It doesn't leak.
    The car is noisy of course, but there is I believe a whining noise emanating from the rear axle. I'm wondering if the pinion gear is profiling correctly on the crown. I don't feel like pulling it all down and applying engineers blue to check. I have never had this kind of trouble from any of the salisbury axles fitted to the series cars i have had- and I've a owned more than a few, including two stage ones. The later cars are not seemingly in the same street build quality wise.
    Feeling a bit pessimistic and wondering whether i can trust it to go on a trip to SA in late October.

    My recollection is there is nothing brass/bronze in the sals to cause the oil colour description.

    Some EP oils go a nice golden colour even when not in contact with bronze and as Strangy said there shouldn't be any
