RXV Diff. Lube (What to Use)

catmcaw · 11-12-2013, 11:43 AM

I have a 2008 RXV and have read that the Diff lube should be changed every 5 years. Looking at the gasket sealer around the Diff cover I would say someone has had it off and I would hope replaced the lube at some point.
While I've got my cart in the shop, it might be time to replace fluid and that way I'll know its been done and when.
The manual calls for Mobile 424 (tractor oil). What lube do you guys use?

I used hypoid 75w in my TXT.

there is a lube from EZGO for it. since it has a lsd in it, if you put the wrong lube imn it it will chatter. EZGO had a bulletin out about that issue on some carts. WE drained out fluid and put in this "special" lube. the new lubed fixed the chatter issue.

courtesycart, Thnaks for the link.
I read somewhere the current lube would be 85 140 hypoid. I'm thinking Royal Purple Max 85 140 from everything I've looked at so far.

I used RP oil in all the diff I serviced. I have never changed the oil in a RXV.
