Differential oil
Hello
I used Royal Purple in both my XJ40 and X300. It's very good.
I am in Canada, though, and don't know if it's marketed in the UK.
Regards
Richard

thanks for reply i had a look at the royal purple (very expensive £28 litre) i contacted the seller and he says its suitable for x300 but i note its made for lsd (limited slip diff) and mine is a non lsd . other specialists have told me not to use an oil made for lsd in non lsd as they contain friction modifiers to deal with friction on slip discs . im still waiting for reply from jaguar uk however shell have specified either spirax s6 axme 75w-90 or spirax s3 ax 80w-90 as being suitable .i note a guy on youtube XJ JESSE uses a lucas synthetic 75w-90 but specialist here said that was not suitable .im trying to get a broader idea of what is generally used .

Wow! That is expensive.

can confirm the differential oil has superseded to C2D3650 however, I would like to advise that the whole differential oil will need to be replaced as opposed to being topped up as this is not allowed
i went to jaguar site over £30.00 a litre .
