Dont listen to anyone with a GPVR as they have LSD and it is different oil.

Use this nulon bottle with the G70 additive.

I've used the wrong oil before and it destroys the box very quickly.

Wrong! GPvR has a Helical LSD so you can use the regular oil with it.

Castrol Syntrans is a fully synthetic 75w85 GL4 oil.

Syntrans doesn't exist anymore, they renamed it according to the bloke at Repco :troll:

I just got the 75w85 VMX-M Castrol stuff as there was nothing else suitable at Supershit or Repco.
I fix cars.

Only people with viscous LSD's need different oil
But even so I think the viscous LSD is a sealed diff with its own oil
