Not sure it is the best place. But where is?

What would be recomended for LSD oil?

3.2 omega auto 2003 stock power.

A Common issue, of sorts, is the juddering in tight corners. Can this eradicated and still have a properly working LSD?

GM have additives etc, but can this be improved upon?

Thanks

I have done 2 cars recently to cure the judder on a tight turn- 1 with gm sae 90 and the little tube of gm friction modifier and 1 with Silkoline boa90ls which incorporates a friction modifier and is recommened for lsd diffs.

Results the same - judder eliminated . Why? because the friction modifier has reduced performance over time and I think that best practice is an oil change incorp friction mod every 50k or 5 yrs.

Yes it's been discussed on here before. Just wanted to add the oilmans view to it all.
