IL LSD oil/additive ratio
I am trying to figure out what the best ratio for LSD oil is. I have the gear oil and tube of additive. With as little as the differential holds it just seems to me that this tube of additive wont leave much room for the gear oil. Anyone have a good idea on this? Do I use this whole tube or part of it? Thanks

Fill the diff full of oil until it drips out the fill hole. Then thread the fill plug in there with teflon tape on the threads. Pour 4 ounces of LSD additive bottle into the breather tube. Done.

I always poured the whole LSD additive in there along with the gear oil till it drips out of fill hole. Never had any problems with it.
