I have a 2000 runner with the factory e locker, what i'm wondering is I bought amzoil they recommended severe gear 75w-90, because I tow now and again, the amzoil guy wasn't sure and neither am I if that diff is limited slip or not , that is my question..
it says on the bottle " if limited slip chatter occurs use amzoil slip-lock"
just wondering if its fine to use thanks

e-lockers are not limited-slip. when activated, they are no-slip.

thanks, yes I know that when activated it is locked, I was just wondering about most of the time when it is not.
so the Amzoil should be fine then with no chatter probs then?

again thanks for the help
