Regarding Limited Slip Differential additives.
Are they all pretty much the same?
Are different types better depending on LSD design? (metal vs organic friction clutch)
I've seen some aftermarket mfgrs (Auburn) recommend the factory Ford and GM additive (by part #) for their units, making me wonder whats so special about their blend?
I remember years ago most friction modifier was this suspicious Blue stuff than stank to high heaven. We used to throw the empty bottles outside in the trash because one bottle inside stunk up the whole shop.
Now all the stuff I run across is clear Amber and doesn't offend the nose at all.
Is it a completely different formula?
The hideous Blue was labeled "severely hydrotreated petroleum" if I remember correctly and I think it was better.
I don't remember experiencing so much clutch chatter back then at low mileage. Especially with metal LSD clutches. eg, Chrysler trac-lok
Comments, Opinions?
Thanks
