If you have the 'base oil' then just get the required quantity of additive?   ???

You will find that buying the correct oil will be as cheap as the additive required from Vx  :y

my local Opel dealer:
GM1942387 17£
GM1970452 (50ml) 5x8£=40£
----------------------------
sum aprox. 57£

BOA90LS (1l) 18£

continuing story...


I bought LSD differential via Ebay, mounted it and had put oil 0.75l and 0.25l additive
when going straight is OK
cornering with gently accelerating differential is vibrating and making chattering noise???
When I took out the oil after 3 days it was a dark brown color?

Was that the £120 diff won on ebay about a week ago?

The chattering when cornering shows the LSD friction modifier is not working well.
