lowlancer Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Gonna drain diff oil in the wagon. Is it sweet to fill it back up with the car facing down a hill so as to get a bit more in there? Or can this cause problems with load etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 should be sweet worst that can happen is if your breather isnt working itll blow the seals in the axles causing copious amounts of oil to turn into black ooze as it picks up the brakedust in the drums , other then that , meh oh also decide to exit stage forward though pinion .

fuel Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 while you're at it you may as well overfill your engine oil too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Nah that'd be dumb. Lame joke as usual btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 can be a good idea if your planning on cutting some sweet, sweet heli's used to overfill my S series arse ends 0.5ltrs to make them last another 10 minutes, giving a total of 20 minutes use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Nah, just thought it might help having a little more for trackday. I'll just shell out on decent quality shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 we wrecked 3 motorbike motors because of oil starvation(motorbike motors arent made for going sideways and around in circles), overfilling oil ftw An AA guy I talked to said he once had some guy that filled his engine up till it came out the dipstick hole, then he wondered why it wouldnt work anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 it wont hurt eh diff in any way its wont help anymore as at the speen the diff is spiniig oil is flinging everyfucking where its just the seals the will go and leak if your breather ever blocks/ get a sand grain in seal etc ... other then that meh no better no worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Nah, just thought it might help having a little more for trackday. I'll just shell out on decent quality shit It will. I'd recommend a little bit more in the diff for the track, I used to overfill the engine in the Alfa as well when I track hacked it, due to lack of baffled sump and their tendency to oil surge when cornering hard.
