Can you use regular 90weight without the friction modifier? You would think that friction modifier would cause viscousity in the transmission. But I guess that is a good thing, so the transmission maintains it's proper heat so the gears don't expand and freeze.
I thought it was bad to use friction modifier on VLSD, it already has a "silicon based gel viscous" that allows the left wheel to pull, when resistance builds in the diff.

Yeah Nismo doesn't make LSD, they don't even make VLSD, they leave that to Nissan. Yeah if you can spend almost a $1000 on a KAAZ, Royal Purp, or Redline work great........
