My new toys - dimis - 30-08-2018

DimitrisTS Go to the online manual at: new car features -> Chassis -> Differential -> Helical Gear Type TORSEN LSD

This is a copy-paste from there:

"Ordinary differential oil must be used; do not use special LSD oil".

Also check at the Service Data Sheet. It says the same thing about the torsen type.

At my local Lexus service they also did use LSD oil but when i show them the toyota manual they began scratching their heads!

As you mentioned above the manual says "special". Probably the manual refers to not use lsd oil that is designed for racing/rallye cars but ordinary lsd oil for daily driving cars which have an lsd.

In the service data sheet the manufacturer says that the same type of oil is to be used for both differentials. And that is API GL5 SAE90, SAE80W or SAE80W-90.

I am using ordinary and not lsd oil for my car for about 60.000 km now and its working as it should.

Those "LSD" differentials are not true Torsen. They are Torsen type with a different principle of function. They are based to the friction between oil, gears and the differential case. That has the benefit of almost zero wear but also they do not have the precision that other true Torsen or other type of LSD have.

I don't think that puting LSD oil will do any damage but i am sure that your differential will not "limit the slip" as it should.

That's my point of view anyway...

I started looking and searching today in the web for ideal aftermarket ecu's for my project. I fell into this ecu which i found quite interesting and i think it will work ok for my little project. -> AEM FIC, it is a paralled ecu that works paralled with the factory ecu of the car. From the video i saw it has a very friendly interface and the manual explains well what and how to do.

has any of you used or has any relative experience with this product? Any help or suggestions would be a big help for me. Never played with aftermarket ecu's before so i am entering a new field.

Can i say it is similar product with a Greddy emange blue or ultimate?
