Has anyone ever heard of/used this stuff? I would imagine it should do just fine, but I've never heard of it or seen it so thought I'd share the find and see if anyone has any feedback on it.

If you have a mechanical LSD like the old loyales had or a r180 helical sti diff, yea use this or redline no slip. If you have a viscous LSD unit use plain old 75w90 because the limited slip part of your diff doesn't share oil with the rest. It is self contained.

And the fluid can't be refilled and replaced.

You don't, either your LSD works or it does not.

Oh OK I see what your saying... The LSD part of the diff is seperate from the rest, so no need to buy lsd fluid since all your replacing is the fluid in the "non-lsd" compartment? Sorry if that sounds dumb, but I've never seen inside one of these diffs. I should have taken one apart when I had a few extras, but I sold them so didn't wanna mess anything up

It's sealed so the oil level won't change.
