Rear Axle
The rear axle is of the semi-floating type, and incorporates a limited slip diffential ‘Powr Lok’, which
spreads the driving torque to both wheels, even when one is slipping.
The ‘Powr Lok’ is extremely sensitive to lubrication, and only the oils listed on page should be
used,
i.e.
SHELL EP90 SCL
In an Emergency
If this oil is not available, any 90 E.P. oil may be used for a short period. However, the axle should be
drained and refilled with the correct oil as soon as possible.
The rear axle should be drained and refilled at the first 1,000 mile service. Thereafter it should be
checked every 4,000 miles, and replenished as necessary. After 12,000 miles it should be drained
and re-filled.
