Motul 75W90 Gear Oil okay for 2006 NA AT?

Flyer · 11-24-2008, 12:13 PM

I picked up some Motul (maybe it is Motorex- I forget now, and the bottles are at home

) gear oil at the motorcycle shop. It is synthetic and pretty expensive ($14 per quart). I just realized that I didn't know for sure if my 2006 AT NA Forester has a Limited Slip Differential. I don't think it does but is this gear oil okay to use in the first and rear diffs? Motul and Motorex makes excellent stuff but I want to make sure it is an appropriate oil to use..

Thanks!

You're ok using any good 75W90 in front and rear diffs - stock LSD unit (rear only, IF you have it) is completely sealed within the diff.

I'm pretty sure I don't have the LSD but good to know I can use it anyway. Thanks, TAU137.
