Nu lon Additive in Oil in Slip Diff Yes/No

From what I understand ( and that may be incorrect ) the Nu Lon reduces friction so would reduce the effectivness of the diff in those situations.

I would email the NuLon site and check with them.

Or fit diff lockers :-)

Thanks D200DUG,
looked up the site and the company says the G 70 is suitable for Slip Diffs, have been using it for 20 odd years must have done the research at the time, but the grey matter could not remember.

Spell the product with a blank, to make it harder for the search engines to pick the subject up and briadcast to the world on the Net.

You DO NOT put NuLon additives in a differential with friction plates as previous reply. If you keep up the oil changes in the diff, even going as far as changing more frequently, with the manufacturers oil specifications,the diff will still be going strong when the body has long gone to the recyclers, if your model Toyota diff is a good design.
My recommendation as a Fitter/component rebuilder/Maintenance Planner if you are worried, is to go to Caterpillar or Komatsu and get an Oil Analysis bottle, learn how to take samples correctly, and get it analysed on a periodical schedule. This will tell you if the oil is breaking down from heat,the amount of which metals are present telling you which diff parts are wearing too rapid - if there is a problem, or if there is water ingress. The sampling will also establish what preventative maintenance - if at all - is required before going on any long trips.
The differential has been designed to handle the max towing rating with a specified oil and 2.5t is not much (maybe for a Tojo it is ! dig dig).
If you add this, you may find yourself at the bottom of a hill with no drive, an expensive rebuild replacing the friction discs and cleaning the other parts, and lots of swearwords emanating from your mouth.
Just replace the oil regular as it's a quick, cheap, easy job and looking at the oil will tell you whats going on inside.

I stand corrected having a look at what is now available for gear chatter. There is specific additives for the LSD's.
