Good point.

I switched to the Mobil 1 Synth 75w90 in my stocker, and like it fine.

Xviper posted a Canadian TSB that said it was 80w90 - likely a mineral oil from Exxon/Mobil.

well i talked to cusco today and they recomended there diff oil. but because i was told by another local shop it has whale oil in it there for it can not be imported. sucks for me. but they said since you can not get there oil they just recomended a full synthetic oil. so i put in mobil 1 today. cusco said it would take about a week for every thing to seat correct with the new oil. i will still have low speed chatter and some lock up because the unit is designed to work like that. but i could just add diff add's into it to reduce. they just told me to not add alot cause it would cancel out the lsd effect

did you break your dif in yet? i think the kazz units require you to do figure 8's for 2 hrs in a parking lot before being broken in.
