Torsen LSD oil - does it make a difference?

[mattysshop]

i'll keep it simple,

any difference using 140w lsd oil vs 90w eg LSX 90?

i know they don't 'need' an LSD additive, but will it hurt it? and will the thicker oil make any difference to the way it behaves?

140 will make a diff a bit quieter, and potentially use more fuel (I don't know if this is enough to be relevant though) I don't know if it would affect the LSD performance..I'm using a 90w LSD oil with my torsen, seem OK...

With some of the higher grade stuff I use they recommend an additive to induce slip.. Sort of like a fine tuning aspect.

I would say If its not a race car and you just want a tight LSD (especially if this is just an old used item) you will be safe to give the 140 a try.
