Rev 2 turbo LSD gear oil

Post by Bear87 »

Hi chaps,

I know everyone just loves mt90 but i get a great deal on millers race oils.
Does the rev2 viscous? Lsd req friction modifyers?

Millers CRX LS 75w-90 NT+ Competition full synthetic (with modifyers)

Or

Millers CRX 75w90 NT+ Competition full synthetic (without)

Can anyone advise if any reason not to use millers or which one would be best please?

Ta

Brad

Viscous LSD's are a unit, they do not share the transmission oil.

Use a top quality GL4 oil and you're good.

Thanks gazza,
This meets gl4 and gl5 requirements. I read gl5 may possibly damage the syncros?? But this was quite an old forum post.
