loyale1993 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hello, I'm new to the forum although I've been lurking for quite sometime.I own a 1993 Loyale ea82 with 3at 4x4 and love it! I bought it a year ago with 142k and now has 154k. This forum along with my Haynes manual helped me replace my timing belts and water pump. Oh and a egr solenoid went bad too $5 from a junk yard and I was back running so thanks for those tips! Next thing to do on my subie is the diff's. Im sure the rear is an open diff because when I spun one wheel forward the other went the opposite direction and the tag doesn't say "LSD" So I'm assuming the front is also open? When I tried turning one wheel on the front the other one didn't move so?? Any brand of oil do you guys recommend in the diff's? Thanks for your help!

DaveT Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think gear lube rated for LSD just has some additive / characteristic for the friction / clutch parts that make the LSD function. I don't know of a reason that it would hurt a non-LSD diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
