i got castrol LSX 90 in mine, at the reccomendation of the guy who set the diff up for me. (diff specs in manukau) no complaints so far, though its only been in a couple of months.

well trd specification is GLI 5 85/140 (or is that 130?).

I run penzoil 4wd HD LSD OIL, 25 bucks or so for 2 or 2.5L's for supercheap. So is a good size for some overfilling and well priced.

Ive spoken to my Oil guy. and he has recomended a
API GL5 75W/140 Synthetic based.

Its formulated for top range LSD units.

thanks for all the input guys.
Suprised to see no one using the TRD oil.
