[Spunkymonkey]

Use honda mtf fluid.

[Rice_4_life]

^^ same as above stick with honda they made it for a reason

[ECU-MAN]

MTF all the way

[solitz]

MTF mate..specially designed for your honda

[Slow96GSR]

If it is an aftermarket LSD I use the Red Line oils, if it's a stock LSD I use Honda MTF.

[civic_mods]

Honda MTF ATW!!!!!!!!!!

[sydteg21]

castrol sytrax man, it feels much better than MTF, it is like 30bux a litre, but it well worth the money dude.

[90LAN]

endless 75-90 oil

[bennjamin]

this has been covered ~

but i will add that I agree with the comment that to use MTF with OEM LSD gearboxes , and use aftermarket/heavier duty fluid for aftermarket LSD's

i used 10w40 engine oil. I think it some penrite.. Smooth as silk :)

[94vtirozguy]

use MTF. If you are unsure call the manufacturer of the LSD and they will tell you.

For Quaife honda MTF is good.

[SPEEDCORE]

Used Honda MTF with the Quaife in the EK4 and will continue to use it.

I would do the same with a OEM LSD too.

[jdmTYPE R]

i used castrol syntrix and the shifting is smooth

[EG5[KRT]]

its just that i am using mtf at the moment.. its not gripping like i think it would ..

no specs on the jap spec vti lsd.. so dunno wat type or lsd it is..

might b a viscous lsd.. so mite not matter wat kidn of mtf im using...

[ErazeR]

redline gearbox oil is awsome, i never tried anything better before, it actualy shifting smoother and doesent crunch

All OEM lsd's 'dont grip like they should' IMO. Waste of money and just bling factor. All the ones ive driven are just bearly better then a open diff... Helical style all the way. Grips like a mofo.

But FWD OEM honda LSDs "ARE" helical/torque sens :confused:

I highly doubt that honda put a clutch style LSD into any FWD car.... so if Brian is running a helical/torsen, changing from MTF to another type of gearfluid is not going to have any effect what so ever on the locking of the diff.

If it was a clutch type, then definately there is significant changes in the characteristics of how the diff locks between different types of fluids, as the the friction between the plates changes.

yeah it could b clutch or cone type if its aftermarket.. but yeah im thinking its either helical or viscous..

if only someone new.. coz if its viscous i could change viscous fluid coz it would b a sealed unit... but helical is bit diff...

damn adrian u should have told me to buy a clutch one :D
