4WD MTC PRO CHASSIS GEAR DIFF Gear diff oil can be changed to affect car handling. Generally, high traction conditions = thicker oil. ( 2k-5k) Low traction conditions = thinner oil. (1K-2K), A thicker gear diff oil will have a much smoother off power, corner entry feeling, preventing corner entry over rotation. -
