    Changed to Mobil LS1 in my 2006 Tundra 4WD Limited slip (LS) about 8 months ago. After about 3-5k miles I started getting a chattering noise when turning sharp. Thought it was the front end, could not find anything wrong. Transmission maybe??? So I had the trans flushed at the Toyo dealer.(120k miles on truck). Could not be my rearend...I have Mobil 1. Changed over to Lucus 80W-90 standard gear oil with 1/3 of a bottle of the KW LS additive. My truck drives perfect again and turns are very smooth. Can't believe it took me 20k miles to figure out this product is all hype. The oil was still very clear though when I drained it. Only positive thing I can think of?

            Mobil1 Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-90 (1 qt.) offers superior differential gear and transmission lubrication. I had my 1998 Toyota E153 manual transmission completely rebuilt 75,000 miles ago and I've used Mobil1 Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-90 gear oil ever since. Happiness is having silky smooth shifting and the occasional power shifting street induced incidences without experiencing any transmission issues or problems.

                You would have to buy a friction modifier to use it in a limited slip differential. Royal Purple is far more expensive but at least you don't have to go to a dealer to get the modifier.

                          I have a 2003 Sentra Spec-V. The Nissan service manual specifies 75W-85 GL-4 oil in the transmission. I have read elsewhere that GL-5 oils can potentially be harmful to the transmission if the manufacturer doesn't specify it for a GL-5 oil, but GL-4 seems to be possible to find on your site anywhere near the required viscosity. Will this product work in my vehicle, and if not, what will?

GL-4 and GL-5 are standards set by the American Petroleum Institute for gear oils. GL-4 are intended for axles with spiral bevel and hypoid gears operating under moderate to severe conditions of speeds and loads. They are also suitable for sychronized manual transmissions when MT-1 gear oils are NOT recommended. GL-4 should be used in limited-slip differentials. The GL-4 generally indicates "Limited Slip" properties in the gear oil. GL-5 is indicated for high-speed/shock loads and low-speed/high-torque conditions. GL-5 also has multi-purpose or mild EP (extreme) properties too. GL-5 is often seen with the MT-1 designation too.

                            The W is for Weight

                            It represents the grade of the oil.

                            Multi weight lubricants have special additives that change the viscosity with temperature. 75W-90 means it acts like a 75 weight (relatively thinner) oil in cold climates which allows less cold operation friction and resistance to flow. As the oil warms up the additive package acts to prevent the normal thinning process, hence it acts like a true 90 weight oil when hot. Straight 90W gear oil is quite thick during cold weather, which not only causes increased drag but also it resists flow so it doesn't lubricate as well. So the W is very important.

                          Can I use this in a 2004 Silverado 2500 Quadrasteer? I read so many different things. Some say that the quadstreer takes a specific differential oil for the read. Is this true? My truck has 66,000 & I want to change rear fluid.

                            I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.

                            I worked for 2 H-D dealers over a 6 year period. It is too thick for your Harley Davidson transmission. Stick with H-D Tranmission Fluid or H-D Synthetic Fluid. They work the best. Do not use gear oil.
