Guys - What do you recommend? I'm thinking something beyond straight 75W90.
Thanks,

Re: Recommended Gear Oil for Factory LSD?
I just bought a 3 clutch diff from Metric Mechanic.
They recommended Pennzoil GL5 and Lubegard Mixture Limited Slip Supplement.
Recommended change every 10,000 miles.

The BMW recommended oil is "CASTROL SYNTRAX LIMITED SLIP 75W-140". That's what I have used for decades.

I bought Mobil equivalent. Works great. I think synthetic is not a big improvement for that. Base oil stock for those transmission oils is super high quality, so I think synthetic just doesn't make a difference.
