    Ldub, thanks - do you know the type/brand of fluid and additive that should be used?

    Well, i have actually checked the type of lube that's in there now. It's Mobil's 75W90, which according to the manufacturer's website, is excellent for LSDs. However, I guess it won't hurt if a proper LS additive is added...the question is what would be the proper additive...?

    Mobil-1 gear oil is a little too slippery for the Isuzu LSD, so be sure to use additive. If you need to locate drain and fill points, check my gallery for photos of the diff.

    I use all Amzoil products & have found the LSD additive at my local NAPA, though they did have to order it. Being syn. it should mix w/ mobil 1 products...maybe Joe Black has some input on befouling Mobile 1 products w/ Amzoil product
    I would imagine most other manufacturers offer LSD additive.

    As far as Amsoil vs. Mobil-1 goes, at least they both are true synthetics. My Mobil-1 preference is due to real-world use in everything from aerospace to heavy industrial. Amsoil advertises its use by this racer or that one, but if you go to where the bottom line in industrial, agricultural and other industries is dictated in maintenance dollars then you'll see Mobil-1 in use. Plus it's much more readily available when you need it.

    Guys, I finally found an LSD additive. It's K&W 2508, Posi-trac limited slip gear oil. Now I wonder if it's compatible with Mobil 1 for LSD?
