Hi i underestand by looking on the forum if you have lsd you need to use a special oil or EP90 with an additive. But i was wondering about the front diff do i just use EP80/90 or does it need lsd oil as well??? Question

ep90 is fine on it's own in the front diff as it's not a lsd type

This is what I used, from my local shop. Found the additive too but it seemed expensive.

The Comma one works perfectly on LSDs. Very quite and nice & tight for full lock turns with the right foot down Laughing
