    OK

    There was another thread that was kinda bashin RP (which I don't have any experience with anyway). I'd recommend Mobile 1 since I've had good luck with.

    BTW, The rear pumpkin does need additive for Limited Slip differentials.

    I know it recommended the additive, and thats why I pointed out that in the other VX I changed fluids out first thing to RP, with NO additive and changed them yearly, 110k miles on it and it was perfect, lasturbo is still running that rear end in his VX....and the current VX doesnt have the additive either....with good synthetics its not been an issue
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    True, Amsoil agrees: http://www.amsoil.com/lit/databulletins/g1968.pdf

    Gotta remember tho that the additive isn't necessarily just for reduced friction. The additives are sometimes also referred to as viscosity modifiers because they may be recommended for different purposes: Flow at high temps, flow at low temps, flow at high pressures, adhesion to meshed gears, ...

    I don't know the purpose that Isuzu had in mind when they required the additive but it would appear that synthetic lubricants meet that need without the additive.

    I knew a girl that used silicon additives for augmentation with great results. IMHO she coulda used a little synthetics in her rear pumpkin too.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Good thing I didn't add the comment about some VXr in Cali having his hands on your rear end.

    Oh my gosh what to do ? As my mom used to say.
    When you make the effort to right a wrong, you reap joy, and when you neglect to do so, you harvest regret. So, apologize and experience joy instead of regret.

    I studied to come up with a way to apologize. So with words that are deep in sincerity.

    I'm sorry .

    I'm so joyful now.
