okay to put redline mt90 instead of 75w90 in lsd?

didn't plan on changing fluid and have redline mt90 around, and lost the receipt. just wondering if it would be okay to use the mt90 instead of the 75w90 in the lsd instead. let me know.

thanks in advance,
steven

MT-90 is a 75W90, but don't forget that if you have a 86-88 you should use a LSD additive as well.

Get a bottle of Redline Friction Modifier and add it to your oil. Or just get the Redline oil that already has a 5% mixture of the additive in it. This is what I will be using on my Kaaz LSD in my 1991 TII.
