    I used 80-90W Synthetic with limited slip additive, because my diff says "LSD" on it.

    I have a 2010 Sport PreRunner. It has a limited slip differential (LSD). Be sure you put the additive in it. Some gear oil has LSD on the label. You can use that without the additive. Mobil 1 is not recommended. People here on the forum will agree. I think, I used Lucus gear oil. I put the additive myself.

    Just changed mine after breaking in new gears. Used mobile 1 with the additive. So what's wrong with it?

    Looks like I'm changing mine again tommorow. Also found out that ARB recommends non synthetic.
