Hi everyone

I've got to change the diff fluid's front and back on the 110 soon. I understand that it takes EP90 to API GL4 fluids. I'm not going to Halfrauds as I know they will charge over the odds. Anyone know any good online deals for diff fluids at the moment?

Cheers!

5L will do both diffs, you'll need 6 if you want to do the transfer box at the same time on a 110

Do you not have a motor-factors nearby?
Anyone you buy off online will charge P&P which for oil could be a significant percentage of the price (weight). A decent motor-factors (most towns have a few) will stock all types from a variety of manufacturers.

Buying from Smith & Allen is significantly cheaper than Motor Factors even with postage taken into account

Is halford really that much more? You may end up paying more in fuel/postage than just pooping to halfords...

5l of EP90 at Smith & Allen is £27.10 inclusive of VAT and delivery. Buy more and the postage gets cheaper. Very good quality oil and very quick delivery.

Ended up going to Opie Oils... just down the road from work. About £5 a litre, so not too bad at all really.
