Question:
Please Clarify if Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-90 is a 'Limited Slip" Product?
I just purchased your Mobil 1 75W-90 differential oil from Auto Zone. It mentions on the back that it's suitable for "limited slip" type differentials, however it is not very clear on whether a LS additive is required. So, I visited your website which advertises LS 75W-90. There is no "LS" on the product I bought. IF this is the same oil can you please ensure the bottle is labeled properly? I recently bought a 4x4 with limited slip and want to ensure I do not damage the vehicle. BTW, I'm a hard core Mobil 1 fan, having used your various products for the last 8 years. I'm switching this new SUV over to Mobil synthetics.
