    I use shell lsd oil, you can use it in both however it does whine slightly (you can hear it when you back off with no body deadner in the car). But I would put that down to my diff building skills more than anything else :P

    nah all diff oils should suit an open diff.. just when you have an LSD you have to make sure you use one that is suitable for it.
