No worries dude, what ever they got double heck its ok for LSD though, might be worth having a reg number from a ERST to hand if they need to look it up on a system

Defo worth checking oil is okay with LSD, some do require a specialist oil (often £10-20 per litre) and use of the wrong oil can cause premature diff failure.
Nothing to see here...

Unless I've had a blond moment and got EP80 and EP90 round the round way.. I'm sure EP80 is for normal gearbox.
You put ya reg number in, but what car is it?
If its a Frst ten it never came with a LSD
