Just installed my Lokka in a C 8.25, loud but can deal with that. My question does anybody else notice the gear oil look foamy? I put lsd additive in and ony drove about 10 miles so far? Will the oil clear up eventually? Thanks in advance

Why did you put lsd additive in? I believe in the Aussie manual it says it's recommended to run 75w-140 to quite it down. Sorry but I cannot comment on the foamy fluid.

please post picture of the foam. Some aeration or little bubbles I would think to be normal as that ring gear spinning around sure can whip things up. Could be the LSD additive that was unnecessary but wont hurt anything. I personally wouldnt worry about it unless you are pushing foam out the breather tube or something. I just used regular old 80-90 dino sperm in mine.
Breather clean and when I went to take a pic it looked a lot less foamy/aerated. Thanks all for your input.
