Most likely. As it tuned out this heldex fluid is not that "special" after all... Just a low viscosity Gl4... ...especially if your car maker defines a service interval for it instead of "life time fill". *edit* I found a VOA of the redline MT Lv in this forum, the additive package of loads of...

Redline replied: "Our MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 is a suitable fluid replacement for Haldex Coupling AWD Systems."

Forgotten about this, i've emailed Redline today and will wait for the reply.

so high iron is kinda expected of those GM rear diff/LSD's. hmm.....

The OEM OCI for this is... "LIFE TIME FILL"... No thank you... Note there was another GM rear diff UOA https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/redline-75w-90-gl-5-3k-mi-oci-37k-mi.257247/ It seems that high iron content is "normal" for those GM rear diffs (yes they do tend to blow up somewhat)

2015 Opel Insignia (aka Buick Regal), same drive train as Saab 9-5 NG (2010-11) 1st drain, 41600 Miles/ 67000 km, GM OEM fill (Dexron LS gear oil 75w90), ~0.6L used - replaced with Redline GL5 75w90, as recommended by Redline. Rear Differential (NOT the haldex clutch thing, but the actual...

Excellent, another one to add to the list, Liquimoly has a good supplier network in Aus too (especially direct to mechanic supplies). https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/au/multi-disc-clutch-oil-p004936.html#21419 The MSRP is less than half the VAG bottle.

Other goals yes. I admin the insignia owner groups on FB and there's issues with maintaining those cars locally among members, due to 3 growing trends with mechanics: 1. growing trend of mechanics refusing customer BYO parts 2. mechanics refusing to use unofficially supported parts, ie: VW...

1. It's about having options. 2. It's about availability, before doubling the price the Ravenol AWDH was out of stock for just under half a year with the local supplier, US sellers refused to ship that stuff overseas (due to air freight restrictions, even my US mail forwarder don't do it) 3...

^^^ thanks I'll shoot off an email to them as suggested. meanwhile, this is on their website https://www.redlineoil.com/mt-lv-70w75w OEM Compatibility ... Haldex Coupling AWD Systems ---

Retail price doubled here since Dec 23. OEM VAG is close to double the price of the Ravenol before the recent price hikes, and is around 3x the price of this Redline stuff. Local "febi" haldex oil seller disappeared so now it's shopped from UK if you buy online, which will cost the same as the...

under a litre, but a bit hard when GM exited my country to "buy stuff off the dealership" that no longer exist. Opel was sold off to stellantis which now has different part supply chain that makes buying stuff from Europe a PITA (not to mention my car was technically sold as a "Holden" here)...

Hi folks, Something 'new' i've discovered, and not sure if it's been talked about. I was looking at haldex fluid alternatives for my Opel Insignia AWD (aka Saab 9-5 Aero AWD AKA Buick Regal GS AWD), Gen 4 Haldex. While looking on Redline's website, this came out as the recommandation: MT-LV...

Sorry, 35000 miles, which roughtly translate to 56000 kms give or take.
