stevie_b Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Look on the VIN plate on the wing under the bonnet. If under the transmission section it has the letter B, then you've got an LSD. If it says A, it's an open diff. Sorry, I don't know about what oil it takes. Does your supra have the bonnet scoop? I think all UK cars have an LSD, so if what you say is true, then yours should do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm not well up on how car-ringing works, but I suspect it might be a good idea to keep your VIN number quiet. Although it is on the glass on some cars, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normore1 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Any API - GL5 for LSD oil will work. I prefer Mobil1 syntyhetic gear oil which is GL5 for LSD. If you don't have a LSD (which is unlikely) it won't hurt. I believe Valvoline, Castrol, Silkolene etc. all make GL5 Synthetic for LSD. It will describe the application on the bottle.

Rayman Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 from faq LSD Diff Oil Stock = Unknown 75w90 Gear Oil Capacity ~1.5L's (have 2L's Ready) 75w90 - Motul Gear 300 or Silkolene Syn5 I recommened either of the two listed - both have been used without issue. Interval = 2 Years / 30,000miles depending on use/power levels See here for details on changing diff oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
