Wow..................

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God that's been covered so many times.

1. Lift the car and turn one wheel one way and the other one should spin the same direction.

2. Look for an orange VLSD sticker on your diff and see if it has a vented rear cover

3. Do a burn out and turn and see if there is one skid mark or two.

oh yeah........and WELCOME TO NICO........

Tried looking up MIN in search and kept finding references to minutes. Anything more specific?

Also, I tried looking up information on OEM differentials as I don't believe my 240 comes with one. How many flanges and what is it referred to? R200? Etc?

open diff is r200 and lsd is r200v

You don't have an lsd. You have a '90 and they didn't come with them as an option till 91.
