What is Limited Slip Gear Oil
LS oil for LSD in a 4WD – how’s that for a bit of techno-jargon? It’s really not that bad. Simply, limited slip gear oil is oil for the limited slip differentials of 4-wheel drive vehicles (primarily, although it’s also what allows high-performance cars to perform burnouts!).

0W40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil For A Bentley!
0W40 fully synthetic engine oil is a slightly more unusual oil specification than, say, a 5W30 Ford specification oil. But when you have a 6L 635HP Bentley that specifically asks for a 0W40 fully synthetic engine oil, then that’s what you need to get!
