Midget Differential Capacity

Share this page

The Moss Motors help Center has a chart for most familiar cars. It says (from memory; check me) GL4 EP90 wt for I,II,III and GL4 EP80/90 for 1500.
Dunno capacity. Fill it til the lube runs out the fill hole.

Yep... Buy a quart, pump it in till it runs out.

If it doesn't run out, buy more.

the "book" says .. .. Duckman's Hypoid 90, or, Mobilube G.X. 90, or, Gear Oil S.A.E. 90, or.... or.... or.. and it says

"Top up if necessary to the filler plug level."
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Don't fill till it runs out - because it will run out, out the axles. Fill it until you can just touch the oil with your pinky in the fill hole, that's all you need.

:driving:
 
The bottom of the fill hole is well below the axle tubes and there are seals at the hub flange ends that make any potential mass exit point even higher. And think about slosh when cornering regardless of level. The seal system keeps lube off the brakes and that is the only place that matters. I lubed hundreds while a line mech at a BMC dealer. That said, if you can touch it with a pinkie, it is full enough.
