i use 80 -140 penrite lsd oil and its not synthetic
Hey Guys just wondering what viscosity TRD LSD oil is and do you need special TOYOTA LSD oil? Need it for my kouki 2 way TRD LSD I am running penrite sin lSD oil but not real happy? Any sugestions?
i use 80 -140 penrite lsd oil and its not synthetic
I also rate the Penrite straight 140 weight. keeps it as quiet as possible in the heat up here and has always done a good job of lubricating while still locking up with minimal chatter.
The only thing that makes my trd 2 way chatter is coasting in a tall gear like 4th at sub 70klm/hr. To make it go away you apply 1 or 2 % throttle so there is a little torque to keep things in place.
Its really nice at low speed and makes a smooth transition from low to high throttle behaviour with a controllable change.
mine would chatter all the time in car parks even with fresh oil, then i put in the penrite limslip additive 7098 and after about a week of driving it quietened down and stopped chattering altogether.
i'd add the additive and do some slow reverse figure 8's in a car park somewhere to get the friction plates turning and covered in fresh oil.
Also a convert to Penrite straight 140 from Matt's experience. It is an excellent choice, my diff locks up early and is tighter with a lot less noise.
TRD GL-5 85w-140 FR LSD oil is the shit
but I have also used Penrite LSD oil in the past with no complaints
I thought Toyota oils were mostly Castrol sourced and therefore worth avoiding?
thanks guys thats great i will check it out and ad the additive
