Torsen Diff Oil - what you reccomend?

Postby MrOizo » Tue Dec 14, 2004 9:06 am

as the topic..

which oil should i be using for the torsen rear in the supra?

some have said a mix of ATF and box oil...

From Stuart W from SCONZ wrote:I personally run a 50/50 mix of ATF and 80/90 hypoid (sp?) LSD gear oil, the
ATF lowers the losses, and the viscosity is less critical in a torsen as it
does not rely on clutches to work, unlike a normal LSD.

Seems to work well for the 100,000 K's I've put on the car :)

any suggestions?

Do you have a sticker under the bonnet which tells you what grade and how much? or know anyone with a jap owners manual, I'd stick to what toyota reccomends but at least you don't need a specific lsd gear oil.
I just use a GL5 80W-90 in my Torsen
