Diff oil?
Hey last night i was just doing a tear down of my car and i filled up my rear diff with 1k oil because it was very low, and it had very minimal run time on it. This was at night time it was getting late and i put the gear back together and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and opened it just to make sure i filled it up right and it was all gone. i dont have a leak, no oil by where it was laid. Its like it evaporated. Has anyone ever had this problem? Whats going on? My car is the hb d8. Thank you

Silicone does not evaporate overnight even if you just poured it on the workbench. Look for it.

Sounds like air pockets to me.

ive used the losi diff oil its not, bad but boy is it thick now to get the air pockets out just turn the, gears in the diff slowly and you will see the little bubbles that come up. just turn the outdrive, slowly a couple of times and let it sit for about 15 minutes or a bit more.
