Hi, For the differential of my car (2001 XKR), Jaguar recommands to use Shell Spirax Super TS 90. Fine with me, but this oil does not seem to exist anywhere: Google only finds it in the same Jaguar documents I have, and the Shell website does not seem to know it... Does anybody know that oil...

Case solved, I found a Nye reseller in Paris, 20 minutes from home... Thanks all. This is really a great site for engine enthusiasts! Brgds, TC

BTW, had a look on the site of this Nye company: they seem to be really good in oils... and I do not have the feeling that this is only marketing talent... Any comments on them?

Well, RF, thanks to you I found the Ford specification for this supercharger oil, it's referenced: ESE-M99C115-A Can anybody get access to that document and paste it here, by any chance? Here I found an oil that says it is compatible (maybe it's even the oil Eaton resells?) and its tech sheet...

Thanks a lot, RF! Will check with Ford France if they can supply it. Will put some gloves on, BTW, thanks for the hint: http://oaspub.epa.gov/gedri/pack_edri.FullScreen?p_rs_id=2690 And the second one is not a winner either...

Thanks. @Tom: very good idea... There are several types, without the help of Eaton it'll be difficult to choose http://www.amsoil.com/catalog.aspx?subcategory=17 @RF: yes, this would be very helpful, thanks. If by any chance the oil type and viscosity is written...

Thanks for the answers so far... Yes, the GM oil seems the same, but it's not sold in Europe. Will check with Ford, but they do not seel models equipped with this SC in Europe either. I red that the specificity of the Eaton oil may be that it does expand itself very little with heat... Some...

Hi All, my car (Jaguar XKR) is equipped with a superchager from Eaton (M112, 4th generation). This supercharger is not oiled by the engine oil, but contians ca. 250ml of a special oil, of unknown composition (Eaton does not reveal it, only known elemnt is that it is full synthetic) Eaton and...
