look at the differential. if it says LSD on the back of it, you should use LSD oil. there's also a tag in the engine bay on pre'89 models, and in the driver's door on 89+ models.

check your data tag in the door jam, it will have a diff code on there.

G305 for 89-92 Turbos (3.73:1 with LSD)
G315 for 87-88 Turbos (3.91:1 with LSD)
G284 for N/A's (4.30:1 no LSD)
G285 for N/A's (4.30:1 with LSD)

I've never had to add the LSD add to the diff, I would use ass little of that stuff as possible. more friction = more work. just don't want it to chatter which it never has for me.

right......i should've added to only ass as much as needed. stay away from the regular redline 75w90 cause it already has LSD additive in it......too much for our old Diffs.
