    So I have searched through the forum and I am doing a fluid change on my transfer case, and front and rear diff. I am going with 75-90w oil. I wanted to use mobil1 but they all say they have LS additive. Is this an issue? I have a 2015 trd off road 4x4.

    It won't be a problem. Lots of members have used mobil1.

    Ok so does the LS additive matter? Because I saw for the sports they need to add LSD. So I guess I’m wondering if the LS additive that’s already in the oil hurts or not and if I have to find one without it

    Sports from 12 years ago needed additional LSD additive beyond the small amount in the bottle. Later Sports changed to brake-based simulated LSD like the other trims.

    The LSD additive in the bottle won't do any harm.

    LSD oil is for clutch LSD's. According to Amsoil, accidentally putting some into a regular diff won't harm anything.
