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

What gear oil weight did you use? Try lucas heavy duty 140 it should also quiten the locker a bit.

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.
