Hey guys,

I have a mystery 2 way LSD (not even going to bother trying to id this thing) in my S13. I need to change out the LSD oil. I am looking for any recommendations on type of oil to use. Is the KAAZ stuff good for any LSD - I imagine it would be fine and plan on going with this stuff regardless of what brand is in my car. Any suggestions - brand, viscocity, etc? How many quarts of fluid do I need?

thats not true... some LSDs use syn oil.. while others use petrol based oil.. i had a long conversation with a dude at Kaaz USA.. and he told me the next BEST oil to use next to Kaaz Oil is Torco Gear Oil.. with the "f type" additive.. they offer an LSD package that comes with it..

I heard the same things which is why I am asking - does everyone agree on a certain viscocity?

it dosent matter. just dont put synth oil in a kaaz or tomei diff and its fine. if you have nismo use synth. use 75w90 or 85w140. use lsd additive if you want, it dosent matter. changes how it sounds.

Ok i guess.. i also got a mystery 2 way from venus an tryed redline heavy duty NO NO!! and redline 75-90 NO NO then mineral 75w-90 not bad now im running 80-140 runs like a champ, if you enjoy your car making the loudest clunking noises in turns where it shakes your whole car use synthetic.
