Not likely with the D35, but if you have a limited slip diff, you'll need a fluid with a friction modifier.

x2. Get 4 liters in all. 2 for the front, 2 for the back. If you're not towing anything, you may even wanna go synthetic. Help improve that mileage a bit

Someone will probably disagree with me but if that were my car I definitely would go synthetic
