i have a new dif cover gasket (dealers), new bush ready to be fitted and purchased some oil to refil....

i asked for limited slip dif oil and i was given LS80w90
it says on the bottle limited slip gear oil and mineral

will this be fine to use in my dif?

and before anyone spouts how much of a stupid question this is please dont waste your time, as its actually quite a good one when you think about it :wink:

thanks

This is the correct fluid, I wouldn't use anything else.
