Default Fluid for LSD Diffs

Just wondering what fluid to use for e-series lsd diffs? The 'bible' i have at home specifies what fluid to use but it doesn't say if its any different for lsd diffs which I thought it was?

You just have to use LSD oil. It will be marked on the bottle clearly.

I think (coz I can't be bothered going into the garage and looking) that you may be after Castrol LSX 90, but as was said, anything with LSD marked on the bottle.

Don't put the additive in, well that's my recommendation anyway. Just go straight limited slip oil.
