Mobil 1 104361-unit LS 75-90 Synthetic gear lube, have Limited slip friction modifier in it
1992031
The LS is for "Limited Slip". Mobil's website should have a "Contact" where you can get more detail before buying the product.

I have a 2006 e46 M3 and I thought that this would be sufficient since it has the LS Friction Modifier. I was wrong. Forums can be wrong. You unfortunately have to go with the OEM BMW fluid which is crazy expensive ($48+/bottle). Some dealerships apparently let you fill up an empty gallon container since they only stock it in drums.

Hi Robert,The "LS" stands for limited slip. Not all gear oil is approved for limited slip applications so do be careful. The description on the bottom line says "Excellent limited-slip performance. Reduced chatter and improved traction" so I would assume this should be okay. Also Mobil 1 is one of the best oil manufacturers out there. I used it in my tranfer case and differential which aren't limited slip so I can't comment on how well it works that way. I can tell you this, I am going to change the gear oil again this fall and I will use this oil again. Hope that helps. Hi Robert,The "LS" stands for limited slip.

If your vehicle is under warranty and having issues i'd just take it to the dealer. It is normal for manuals to list additives as not recommended, doesn't mean that they'll hurt it, just covers the manf. With that said, with how little a tube makes up of the total capacity of tranny fluid, I highly doubt they'd be able to tell.

Yes. It is on their website. "API Standards: API SN/CF" http://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/oils-lubricants/8100-x-cess-5w40?f%5Brange%5D=25&f;%5Bviscosity%5D=34

Gillermo ... you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about WD40 ... It's not a lubricant, far from it. We used it to loosen stuck/rusted head bolts on engines. How WD40 ever got the reputation as a lubricant is beyond me. Just wanted to validate your honest answer. Peace. : )

Not sure. You may want to contact Redline for that. All I know is car enthusiast swear by Red Line and Amsoil for transmission fluid.

This is a mineral oil based fluid-not synthetic. Ensure the owner's manual specifically asks for mineral transmission fluid.

You may with your hand book to find what grade of the transmission fluid is require when it need to change. You consult directly with Red Line people, they should response to you shortly. Other comparision you may refer to Liqui-Moly, as they are Germany Oil maker, they may more appropriate for German made car. I hope my answer can fulfill your expectation. Thanks

There are better lubes for PTO applications. A good grease would probably be better.. but.. in a pinch, if it were going to sit connected and idle for long periods.. it would probably work just fine.

I had the same issue. Spayed wd 40 under the tread and it worked. Needs to be lubed often.

I found the answer to the question on the Lubegard web site. That is where I would study the product.

GM #12378261 is a part number, not a spec. Royal Purple Max Gear 75W90 is perfectly appropriate for use in the G80 differential used in some GM trucks. The limited-slip friction modifier in Max Gear oils will not alter or degrade the performance of a locking differential.

This too, happened with mine. It had about 3 ozs of oil in it. I was told it is the little remainder of the oil & lube they used at the factory to test the Genset. Was it a lot (about the 20 oz they recommend?)

From manufacturer... Meets JASO-MA for wet clutch protection and smooth positive shifting

A 2005 STi has a clutch-type LSD and requires an oil with friction modifiers. Either use Subaru's LSD oil, or another differential oil that specifically states it contains friction modifiers for clutch-type LSDs

This Lucas pure synthetic gear oil is a super-slick, long-lasting lubricant that is designed especially for heavy-duty or high performance applications where regular gear lubricants just aren't good enough. It contains a special additive package that increases lubricity and insures less gear noise and longer bearing life. Lucas pure synthetic gear oil is also designed to stand up to high temperatures without losing its lubricity, making it excellent for use in limited slip differentials.

This is from official website for this product: "Contains additional friction modifiers for suitability with clutch-type limited slip differentials - for most LSDs, no additional friction modifiers are required".
