The 510 Realm

What type of gear oil do you guys have in your subaru r160 lsd's
thanks in advance

mike

I'm running R200 CLSD's. Swepco 201 - you don't need any LSD additives with it.

i have 80/90 with a mopar friction modifier in it but i no0t sure if it is to thick or not (this is my first lsd)

posi is lsd.
posi was just General Motors terminology for lsd.

i put royal purple in it with a friction modifier it work's great.
I thank you all for all your help.

used to run normal GL-5 + Ford friction modifier- smelled like poo on a stick but it didn't chatter after the addidtive went in. I have no idea whats in my current ride.

Not to thread jack but, anyone added capacity to help save their R160 LSD's from grenading? My friend just ponied up the $250 for a Perrin cover on his WRX, looks real cool but $$

We nuked a diff at the Westwood 7 hour enduro one year, so it prompted us to build a few covers with increased capacity. We never had a problem after that.

This picture is on one of the 510 club of B.C. members car now. If anyone would like the full set of pictures that I have, i would be glad to e-mail them.
Send me a Pm with your regular e mail.

i'm going to take the spare cover off my friends subie and get some added capacity added to it. will post when done.

Mopar called theirs "Sure Grip." Just their name for their clutchpack differential. GL-5 has friction modifier.

Actually, most GL-5 does not have friction modifier, the bottle needs to say that it has additive for LSD. I've see this rating in the past as GL-5+

Well, I stand corrected. I thought GL-5 had it and GL-4 didn't.

it would suck finding that one out the hard way, right? I checked a few manufacturer's sites and they seem to state whether they have F/M or not in each oil.

Definatelly!
