So I asked my father to pick-up some of this LSD 8149630 EX hypoid oil today while he's out on jobs.

He calls me just a few minutes ago to tell me that the local Mitsu dealer doesn't stock it at all, that they could order it, but they'd just order it from the local ValueAuto parts dealer - go figure.

So he calls me after stopping there and apparently they give him regular 80/90w gear oil with some of the additive.

I don't think this is right. Does the additive make regular 80/90w into the hypoid 8149630 EX? I thought it needs to be 8149630 EX AND additive if you wanted too. But the essential thing was to use the 8149630 EX - not regular 80/90w back there. Right?

So if the dealer hasn't got 8149630 EX where is this stuff? Funny even Autozone mentions it in their how-to section of their website. But not a peep if they actually carry it.
