Jimny differential oil was created by littlegreenjimny
Guys
LONG time reader, first time poster
I have a great little Jimny and need to do a few service jobs on it to keep it sweet
Ive purchased some oil to do the diffs 80w-90 GL5
But i notice on the bottle it says "limited slip" at the top
Is this ok to use, or will it be bad from the diffs
Please see pic
If it is the wrong one, could anyone link me to the correct one from eurocarparts
many thanks

Hello, i use
It is also for "limited slip" differentials
I believe
oil "limited slip" in standard differential => ok
oil "standard" in limited slip differential => wrong
but..................
I am not sure 
but I have used it for years without problems in the ARB (rear) and in the standard front differential
The ARB is not "limited slip" is a "full locking"
