    :facepalm: You're gonna get a bunch of opinions with that question. Best I can tell you is to do your own research and decide for yourself. Maybe talk to a mechanic you trust if one is available to you. No offense. :)

    Just make sure you get the oil that matches the specs in your manual and you will be fine.

    Pay special attention to whether or not you need LSD oil or LSD additive.

    I just have a 5Lug 4Cil base model with no lock diff so I don't need that. I use Mobile One extender performance full Sintec for the engine so I think I'll see what they have for the Diff.

    Thanks...:)

    I did mine this weekend at 63k and it was needed badly. I wish I has read through this thread first though. I used the Lucas oil and it said no additive needed for the LSD. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with that. Also I measured my output and it was only 2.5 quarts and I added 3 in. Nothing came out of the fill plug when I added it. Could it have been under services from the factory? Thanks, I have a 07 sport with LSD
