Differential lube


#1

Starting to reassemble the E30. Competed the rear suspension changes with no dramas. Before I drain and fill the diff, is there a preferred fluid (synthetic vs. petroleum) and should an LSD additives be used?

I used Redline Synthetic in whatever the OEM spec weight is. I haven’t heard of anyone adding an LSD additive.
