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

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

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

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

For Quaife honda MTF is good.

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.

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
