In 17 years racing I had a share of (limited slip) differential problems of=
course, but I couldn't blame the oil. I used some blands and in the end I =
decided for Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W-140 for Salisbury type limited=
slip devices because this oil promises to cause less friction. It is recom=
mended for BMW LS diffs and NissanGTR. When it is good enough for them, it =
must be good enough for our Triumphs. Although this oil is to GL5 specifica=
tion, I wonder if this is a reason not to use it. GL5 and GL4 oils have the=
same sort of additives, only GL5 has the 'bad' additives in a higher conce=
ntration than GL4. And also, the salisbury (quaife) limited slip parts are =
all steel I believe?=20

Hi - if you are running a Quaife, the Redline should be okay. The only reas=
on it would not be okay would be if you were still running the stock differ=
ential center section which has brass / bronze (aka "yellow metal") parts. =
The shockproof stuff is API GL5 and that will eat the yellow metal. But the=
Quaife internals are all steel, so GL5 should not be a problem.=20
As a point of reference and pertaining to the question, I've been mostly us=
ing Mobil 1 75w140. I would also recommend using the higher numbered oil 75=
w-140 vs 75w-90 because the differential runs very hot and I think the 75w-=
90 would be working out of temp range.=20
