i'm waiting on my new sohc set on the way, but i got a z6 trans with a LSD in it, and i dont know if i can still use the 10-30w oil still? also whats the best oil to run in that trans with the lsd?

im kinda funny with my trannys...

i mix gear oil 30 weight with motor oil.........

or i mix motor oil with lucas


seems like it shifts smoother and is alot quieter..... the heavier weight kinda quiets the reverse down a bit too

i got a helical lsd so it might be different

i mean i have too, but most of the people that i have heard using it had a non-lsd trans, and for the price that i have paid for the trans i would hate to see it lock over.

if you're worried about it just use mobil 1 10w-30 synthetic and an lsd additive.

or i can do some more reading and searching and find something better then a 10-30 w/ lsd additive

damn think about it, if someone says fuck something and then states another thing, most of the time that means they will not be using the first thing. and i hate google, i use honda-tech

It's really a loaded question, 10 people will give you 10 different answers. I've always ran regular 10/30 and never had a problem....

i have heard that, but thats if it's the OEM honda LSD, but its like a kaaz lsd you have to use some other oil. i have to called the shop that i used and see that lsd they put it

yeah honda MTF is ok for OEM LSD, but if you have a aftermarket lsd, like kaaz or OBX then you might want to check with him and see if you need to add a additive for the lsd,.

when in doubt, just call the manufacturer of the LSD you have

i called the place that i bought the set up from, and they said to use Honda's trans oil with a additive, and not to use just 10-30w.
