Default Diff lock grease.

It really does what it says on the tin!

At slow speeds it alows the diff to work as normal (differential axle rotational speeds) But when one wheel starts to spin, it stiffens up and locks the diff! Brilliant, and cheaper than an FG adjustable

What are you running it in? Does it effect steering and does it make it want to spin circles to easy as in doughnuts?

I am sceptical on this product. Did you try it yet?

Yes I'm using it. And yes it works. And no it does not leak out the sides!

It alows the wheels too turn indepentently at slow speeds (although slightly stiffer than stock obviously) but locks up under wheelspin. At slow speeds I haven't noticed any handling problems, but the tracktion at WOT is much better. And lest face it... How often are you driving slowly?

120,000 from OFNA works great for mine. I also have th alloy diff which helps with the leaks too since it comes with 2 o-rings to seal it.
