can someone reconfirm what oil type/thickness they use for their LSD helical, i have the TRD LSD helical. ive been reading, some stay with standard stock oil, some go with 90. what are u guys using?
note: my celi is turboed so im guessing i need thicker oil than stock

I was also wondering about this? Can you use MT-90 or do you need LSC Helical gear oil that is special?

The helical works with any oil. Run whatever makes the trans shift best.

what are you using?
The Motul 300 gear oil is what I'm running for over 4years and I have a Quaife LSD installed...runs great and with smooth shifting!

I have a Toyota LSD. Not TRD but it's also helical. I called Redline and they suggested MT90. That happens to be the one everyone on this forum recommends. So any standard 75w90 GL-4 would work. You only need additives if you have a clutch-type LSD.

If you have TRD LSD, stick with TRD LSD Oil and you wont have any hassle

Thanks for posting that - I've got a Quaife and I've always wondered what the fuss was about - it's not as though you could dissolve the thing!

Synchromesh for most applications, Red Line MTL for very high torque setups (>400whp)

I ended up getting MOTUL 300.... only oil i could find here that fit the criteria and they highly recommended it. so i hope it works like a charm. ill be updating this thread on the long run to tell you how it goes
