    The guy at the oil place said this was a combination of the two, and the additive wasn't neccesary ? It wont arrive until thursday. I'll call them on the morning to make sure.

    I'm not too sure about just what the LSD additive is or what it does (Google didn't help). Hopefully a gear head will chime in & shed some light on the subject.

    From a product website:

    Limited Slip Additive

    If you get a "chatter" from the rear axle when starting from a stop, and turning at the same time, you need to add this additive to your rear end oil. This is due to the clutches in the diff. locking and un-locking. The Limited Slip Additive assists with the applying and releasing of the clutch plates. One container/part number needed per rear end oil change.
