lyzic Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 So i have a rear LSD, meaning I need to fill the rear w/ LSD specific oil. However, the front differential takes just regular dif. oil right, I can't use the same oil as the back LSD? I'm looking through the service manual, and I think they don't say anything because it's obvious, but I want to make sure. And anyone know what wrench I need to get those plugs off, I can't find the dimension for it... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarsiff Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Your right the front will take regular non lsd oil, as far as which wrench, if you can see it just grab 3 or 4 that look close and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I believe that you can use any gear oil that meets lsd requirements in both the front and rear. You don't have to buy specific lsd gear oil for the rear and non-lsd gear oil for the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
