[@dexterofficial14]

how much can you exepect the friction to last with road use?

[@1961Minicooper]

You recommend putting in LSD oil, but since the differential is inside the gearbox, I don't know of any LSD oil that works well without some shifting issues with gearbox. Do you have any recommendation of oil that will work for gearbox and LSD at the same time? Will Redline MTL oil work for both systems?

[@RacingDiffs]

You can use factory spec oil + friction aditive. We put Motul 75w90 LS oil and gearbox works great. Drove 5 track days and every day on the street since installation.

@@RacingDiffs Can you recommend a friction additive to use with factory spec oil?

[@RacingDiffs]

Redline is great.

Is this process similar on the R56 S manual transmissions?

[@RacingDiffs]

Yes, basically it's the same.
