I recently switched to Motol after re-gearing and have found Motol to be much smoother while reducing the noise level.

Is there only one version of Motol or is it some super secret special version that you can't get?

This works for me, not sure availability in US, but then there's a multitude of oil out there, each to their own I guess

Amsoil severe gear synthetic extreme 75w 110
Change every 4 or so track days
No LSD issues (although their website says you can add slip lock which is their friction additive modifier if you have LSD issues)

I have no complaints and it is easy to locate

There you go.

I have bought a few of these over the years and for those of you that do frequent lubricant changes no reason not to do the same.

Do not add friction modifyers to any gear oil if you have a LSD. Just live with the noise....

I use Synolec 9920 prevously mentioned, but any of the LSD oils would be just fine....

By the way, is it available to use MOTUL 300 75W-90 to 996 GT3?

I'm concerned about the following point.
-Attack to the sealing by ester.
-Attack to the steel synchronizer by additive.
