Hi all,
I;m changing the diff oil soon. How do I tell if it's lsd or not? It should say on the id plates under the bonnet shouldn't it? Which one of the codes would identify it? MODEL ENGINE TRANS RRAX FTAX TRIM PAINT BRK GVM kg GCM BUILT From my thinking, its either the RRAX or FTAX code. That sound right? GK |

i couldnt tell you by looking at codes..
but if you jack the car up from the diff and spin one wheel, the other should rotate the same way.. this is LSD if you spin the wheel and the other is rotating the opposite way, its a single spinner.. if you do that, maybe we could make some sence of the codes? |

If it is an LSD diff there will be a metal tag hanging around the plug saying that it is a High Performance LSD and requires LSD oil. If it is a standard diff there will be no tag around the plug.

The mechanic who is doing it should be able to tell u if its lsd
 Another easy was it to let her rip hehe. Just jack her up and see if both wheels spin the same way. What about if u have a LSD centre on a single wheeler? im guessing u would use lsd oil. |

Standard oil it is. GK |

Probably not OzfordAU
All V8 and VCT XRs had LSD. HP XRs up to June 2001 had LSd. HPs after that date had it optional.

the odds of finding an LSD on any non XR or non Tickford are remote at best.

Also, FYI, if you do a search, you will find about 1 month ago, someone asked the same thing and I answered it with pics too. Just easier then a posr and waiting for a reply.
