Just out of interest, which oil did you use? That way i wont get that!

I've very recently had an issue with my LSD (yesterday) and ordered these from Opie Oils:

Silkolene BOA 90 LS High Performance Gear And Limited Slip Differential Oil -1 Litre

REDLINE Limited-Slip Differential Friction Modifier / Break-in Additive -0.118L (4 US Fluid Ounces) Bottle

They'll both be here tomorrow

I might be wrong, but I thought the BOA90LS already has the correct friction additives?

I think so. The additive is there to reduce temps during initial running of a new diff, where the clutch packs and bearings are tight and you get higher than normal temperature.

Not like the GM additive which is just a viscosity modifier. Again this is just info ive found reading the internet, so as with most internet knowledge , it could be complete balls!

I thought so too .. Paul is probably best off giving Opie a bell though if we're not 100% sure; Simon/Guy/(I'm sure there's a third fella) will know I'm sure.

Too late lol

It all turned up this morning, looks like the diff oil has the slippery stuff in it already!  Never mind, i have some spare for the Rs box then

Opie is always quick on the delivery But I meant call them before putting it all in the diff

Ahhhh... Well the plan is to do it on Sunday as the chatter is getting every so slightly more noisy, so ideally i would like to get the oil in there asap.

After some considerable googling I found a discussion surrounding the clutch-type LSDs in Subarus, and the BOA 90LS was the recommended oil for those (with no additional additives needed)

Just in case anything goes wrong.. it's not my fault  But yep, that was as good confirmation as I could find - the Silkolene website shows only bike oils and their datasheets are .. not much use to me  :-/
