could someone plz tell me what the v in vlsd is and why it is different from lsd?

Ghettokracker71 · 02-27-2004, 01:09 PM

Viscous type limited differential. Search!

srboost240 · 02-27-2004, 01:10 PM

The v means viscous. It means that it uses a viscous liquid that sort of solidifies and makes the axles move at the same speed.

260sx · 04-02-2004, 09:44 AM

yep so as they say... vlsd... viscous limited slip differential.

its a silicone compound

mellojoe · 04-02-2004, 04:44 PM

its a silicone based fluid

the gear lube is like a 80w90 oil, i believe

twitchy · 04-03-2004, 02:40 AM

cause i change my fluid with 10w30 at the dealershit *i think* but you dont fill the whole diff with it right, like the viscous compound is sealed somewhere inside?

mellojoe · 04-03-2004, 09:13 AM

Yes, the 240 LSD and the 300zx LSD is a sealed unit. Meaning, the viscous fluid is in a sealed compartment. The rest of the oil in the unit is just lube for the spider gears.

citizen · 04-03-2004, 10:45 AM

you put 10w30 oil into your dif!!!!!11!!!
they have gear oil for a reason!!!!!!
for someone with so many posts twitchy i think you don't take in much if any knowledge at all....

twitchy · 04-03-2004, 11:34 AM

stfu

read your owners manual or ask a nissan mechanic

citizen · 04-03-2004, 02:57 PM

why are you telling me to stfu? you are the one with the wrong information. take your own advice and look it up in the manual and ask a competant mechanic.

twitchy · 04-03-2004, 11:33 PM

um okay, yeah, and the dealership puts in 10W30 cause thats what is supposed to go in there.

sleep · 04-04-2004, 12:22 AM

lmao @ motor oil in the diff

mistaanime · 04-04-2004, 12:42 AM

gosh..reallly do a search..otherwise yes..put 10w30 in it..and see the results..

Chernobyl · 04-04-2004, 03:55 AM

Your dealership should be burnt to the ground if they put 10W-30 into differentials. DAMN. Oh, and when will you learn that 99% of car mechanics are your average high-school dropouts? Don't listen to those morons, please.
