You'll need to figure out what the correct grade/type of oil is required and then track down a supplier.

Because its not a regular diff. The way the lsd works is completely different and needs special oil

Hydratrak uses a special viscous coupling cartridge to perform the LSD function - this cannot be serviced and must be replaced as a unit. Rear axle oil is a standard synthetic hypoid gear oil to HN2040 standard - Castrol SAF/XA, Mobilube SHC 80W-140 ID and others.

Yes I know this, but as above the Hydratrak itself is a sealed unit, therefore don't see why the rest of the diff would need a different oil
