i would assume that would be a question for OBX as i highly doubt anybody else on here has used that thing... pretty sure your the first, man.

NOPE.

I would use GM Dex III, or Saturn trans oil.

no additive needed


The additive you speak of is only needed for units with (for lack of a better description) designs that use actual clutch material for friction surfaces that transfer power in them.

the OBX and Quaife units do not have these kinds of surfaces.

additive needed for clutch type LSD's only.

Hey Boosted have you driven your car yet if so what's your take on the way the OBX LSD works cause I have one as well but I'm not going to install it until I install my turbo engine later this year.

I would trust a team green lsd insert over an obx lsd any day.

I actually like the "lame" insert. Works very well for me. Thanks speedracer.

You have to be able to run under 16's to even worry about it.
