I've very recently had an issue with my LSD (yesterday) and ordered these from Opie Oils:

Silkolene BOA 90 LS High Performance Gear And Limited Slip Differential Oil -1 Litre

REDLINE Limited-Slip Differential Friction Modifier / Break-in Additive -0.118L (4 US Fluid Ounces) Bottle

They'll both be here tomorrow

Cheers!

I might be wrong, but I thought the BOA90LS already has the correct friction additives?

I think so. The additive is there to reduce temps during initial running of a new diff, where the clutch packs and bearings are tight and you get higher than normal temperature.

Jan 2011 at 18:16 Not like the GM additive which is just a viscosity modifier. Again this is just info ive found reading the internet, so as with most internet knowledge , it could be complete balls!

I thought so too .. Paul is probably best off giving Opie a bell though if we're not 100% sure; Simon/Guy/(I'm sure there's a third fella) will know I'm sure.

After some considerable googling I found a discussion surrounding the clutch-type LSDs in Subarus, and the BOA 90LS was the recommended oil for those (with no additional additives needed) Thumbs Up!

Just in case anything goes wrong.. it's not my fault Grin

But yep, that was as good confirmation as I could find - the Silkolene website shows only bike oils and their datasheets are .. not much use to me Undecided
