Just a recommendation to you all... (diff fluid change)

The LSD clutches leave some particles in the fluid. Not sure it'll really matter as it'll be dirty again in short order if you get on it a lot. Same thing in my Challenger.

So no clutches? Interesting. Manual state to change at 30K ?

I take it no friction modifier is required? I need to read up on that.

I don't think so. The VLSD clutches (in the Sport Pkg.) are sealed and do not put particles into the differential gearing. The VLSD clutch is Viscous coupling - not conventional clutch discs. This is what I've recently read anyhow. Also, the VLSD diff. should not require "friction modifiers" if I understand correctly.

Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
