Hi,

I know that you can get differing oils for a slipper or open diff, though assuming you have the correct oil for a slipper. Why would you add this additive?

Genuine question.

Cheers,

To lubricate the LSD clutch plates - EP90 is to lubricate the gear set.

You can not buy an 'all in one' LSD oil for clutch plate type LSDs?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, just establish if this is what everyone does because everyone always has. Or if something has been developed recently with advancements of lubricants to cover all bases, I expect not though from the feedback so far!
