Bj73 lsd diff fluid

[CRZR45]

My BJ73 (1986) does not have a owners manual. It has a LSD REAR DIFF. Does anyone know how much friction modifier to add when changing? Thinking 1 bottle from napa but want to know if anyone knows what "Toyota" says...

If its anything like the GM/Holden stuff that we use at work, 1 bottle should be enough for a cruiser diff

You just buy a litre of LSD oil and thats enough,700ml seems to ring a bell.
In any case you just fill it to the fill plug hole on level ground.

Its what the FSM says to use. But if the LSD is worn,you might as well use normal gear oil and save your money

Ok im realy no expert on this one so thanks but something goes into my logics;

Puting slippery stuff into a LIMITED slip diff ?

Or doesnt it work that way ? (i have not yet tryd to understand the basics of a lds diff)

Going to get 1 bottle of friction modifier and put new 80/90 in tomorrow and report back..

Found this and used it. No chatter so far and seems good.

 

[buschmaster86]

have you used it pure without friction modifier ?

and when you drive and make a sharp corner ?

My bj73 kinda slipped when i did that that way i noted the lsd

interesting stuff anyway
