LSD gearbox must use LSD gear oil to protect the internals of the gear n the LSD mechanisms... non-LSD gearbox can use LSD oil but not the other way round...

Yo bro,
Thanks for reply...

I just thought... LSD just a part in between the driveshaft...
But no idea how sensitve it is to the gear oil...

Anyway... it means it's sharing gear oil together with the gear... doesn't it?

But if the tear starting tear of worn...could the LSD also be affected?

if u notice, the final drive (which is where the LSD is located) is also lubricated by the transmission oil...

the big gear on the right is the final drive. beneath the final drive is the lsd n u can see the big gear is also lubricated by the same gearbox oil that lubricates the gears (the 2 shafts on the right with lots of gears on them)
