Before anyone gets started on me I know this has been discussed a little previously just wanted some opinions.
Well... over the long weekend I did a swap out B16A out of an EG6 into an EG5. It had a really nice set of 5 Zigen extractors on it and I noticed the gearbox had been pulled appart and resealed. At this point knowing what the japanese are like with cars I thought maybe someone has spent the time and money to put an LSD in
As you do after a swap I went out and got all the fluids and deciding not to skimp, so Royal Purple engine oil and Penrite SIN Gear Oil 75 fully synthetic gearbox oil that said it is suitable for LSD's and already contains a friction modifier for LSD's... http://www.penriteoil.com.au/pis_pdf...20Oil%2075.pdf just incase someone had put an LSD in...
So... under the car last night draining the gearbox oil and I come across a sticker on the very bottom of the gearbox??? Grabbed a rag, wiped it of and sure enough "KAAZ LSD" So put the new oil in and topped up the other fluids. Then went inside to find out more about KAAZ on the net.
I then find out Kaaz's website specifically says DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC BASE OIL. Kaaz LSD may not function smoothly.... Hmmm???
To change or not to change the oil...
Is this going to harm the clutch plates in the diff?
Is it worth trying it to see how the diff reacts to this specific oil?
My first inclination is just to change the oil and be done with it... has anyone else used a synthetic oil without knowing and if you did how did the diff perform?
I know Kaaz has their own oil, what other oils are people currently using with their Kaaz diff?
