Do you need limited slip additive?
Do you need limited slip additive?
Yes, you need the additive. I’m pretty sure “limited slip” on the Castrol bottle legally means it’s compatible with limited sip differentials, and doesn’t contain the additives or properties that will prevent your clutches from chattering.
What does differential friction modifier do?
Friction modifiers are mild anti-wear additives used to minimize light surface contact, such as sliding and rolling. Friction modifiers are deployed to prevent wear on metal surfaces. Mostly used in transmission fluids and engine oils, these additives help slow down wear and increase fuel economy.
What does a limited slip additive do for a clutch?
Slip Lock is formulated with advanced friction modifiers and is designed to eliminate gear-housing chatter in cars, trucks and SUVs equipped with clutch-type limited-slip differentials. It is formulated for use with both synthetic and petroleum gear lubricants and safely replaces manufacturer-recommended friction modifiers.
When to use AMSOIL slip lock differential additive?
AMSOIL Slip Lock Differential Additive is formulated for use with both synthetic and petroleum gear lubricants and safely replaces manufacturer-recommended friction modifiers. Its convenient squeeze-tube packaging provides quick and easy application to the gear housing.
Which is the best slip gear oil additive?
TRANS-X POSI-TRAC Limited Slip Gear Oil Additive is designed to quiet chattering differentials and improve gear oil performance. Use with conventional GL-5 or synthetic gear oils.
Why does my locking differential make a noise?
Also in the lubrication fluid the General Motors mechanical locking differentials contain a special additive to prevent sticking of the clutches when they apply and release. If regular gear oil is installed in a positraction unit with no special additive, grabbing, jerking and noise can occur around corners.

Why do I have problems with my rear differential?
Problems with the clutch pack can be mistaken for problems with the side gears or spider gears. Also in the lubrication fluid the General Motors mechanical locking differentials contain a special additive to prevent sticking of the clutches when they apply and release.
