work better = non sinthetic conventional gear oil with no additive

work quieter + smoother = sinthetic ( mobil 1 ect.) or conventional gear oil with an additive

Royal Purple worked great, no chatter noise and I purchased it local at Napa.

yes exactly...without lsd oil or a lsd additive you get like 10% more grip in the clutches...but you get more chatter and it may wear out a little quicker too...bottom line is to keep the oil fresh no matter what you use especialy on a clutch lsd

I'm confused .... I always heard the additive was a 'friction modifier' or 'friction enhancer' designed to increase clutch 'grab-iness'. Seems counter-intuitive to have it get more grip without the additive ....

no their there to keep the customer happy...to keep the lsd nice and quiet..like most motorcycle performance clutches (their submerged in engine oil) say in real big letters on the box "do not use synthetic oil" so they dont slip.. i work at a toyota dealer and back when the 86-92 supras were still in warranty we actualy had to put gm addative to satisfy customer complaints.. toyota just recomended conventional gear oil fot that car back then..
