Default Limited slip diff
Does a classic WRX have a limited slip dif.

Reason for question is i have ordered my engine, gearbox and diff oil.
All Millers.
The gearbox/diff oil is the high performance fully synthetic but it staes " Not to be used in Limited slip diffs"

RA has an LSD
I wouldn't advise fully synth, alot of Subaru owners complain of synchro crunch with fully synth.

Most popular is Catrol Syntrax, which is now called Castrol Driveline.

Thats what i got in it now.
Having read up a fair bit the Millers interested me.
They do a few types, 1 fully synthetic specifically for syncro boxes, but not suitable for LSD's
They also do another fully synthetic for LSD's

Have a look , whats your opinion.

I just know that going back several years fully synth caused synchro crunch, something to do with it being a bit more slippery.
Hence personally I would only put part-synth in.

£40-£50 up the swanny if the fully synth gives issues
