<strong>I have a 1994 Montero SR, V6,3.5, DOHC, with Rear Differential Lock.
I am not certain if ,my rear differential is LSD or not. Is it okay to use LSD gear oil on a non-LSD differential? Will there be some risk/damage?Thanks in advance.

The lsd additive in the oil makes the lsd behave much better on the street, but it wont effect a non lsd diff. On the other hand if you do have an lsd you dont want to run plain gear oil on the street.
