The Fuchs Titan Race Gear LS SAE 90 is a high-performance, mineral-based gear oil designed for competition vehicles and applications facing severe operating conditions, especially those with limited slip differentials (LSDs). Its key benefit is providing maximum performance and protection for plate-type LSDs. A caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's not intended for general passenger car axles unless specifically recommended. Key features include superior wear reduction, excellent anti-corrosion and anti-foam properties, and formulation with friction modifiers for optimal LSD function.

Its primary advantage is its formulation with friction modifiers specifically designed to maximize the performance of plate-type limited slip differentials (LSDs) under high loads.
No, it is primarily intended for competition vehicles and axles subjected to severe operating conditions, especially those with plate-type LSDs. Always check your vehicle's manual for compatibility.
SAE 90 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil, indicating its thickness at operating temperature according to the Society of Automotive Engineers standards. It's a common viscosity for high-performance gear oils.
While it meets API GL-5, which is common for many differentials, its specialized LSD additives might be unnecessary and potentially not ideal for standard differentials. It's best to use an oil specifically recommended for non-LSD applications unless your manual explicitly approves GL-5 with LSD additives.
The ZF approvals (TE-ML 05C, 12C, 16E, 21C) indicate that the oil has met the stringent performance and compatibility requirements set by ZF Friedrichshafen AG for their axle and drivetrain components, common in many performance and commercial vehicles.
Information about your differential type is usually found in your vehicle's owner's manual or service documentation. If unsure, consult a mechanic or a specialist familiar with your vehicle model.
Fuchs Titan Race Gear LS SAE 90 is the new name for Silkolene BOA 90 LS. They are the same product, with branding updated by Fuchs.
This can sometimes occur with certain LSDs. If the noise is excessive or persists after break-in, consult your vehicle manual or a specialist. Ensure the correct oil type is used.
Inspect axle seals for wear or damage. Leaks may indicate a need for seal replacement, not necessarily an oil issue.
Use a proper fluid transfer pump. Ensure the vehicle is level and the fill plug is accessible. Do not overfill.
Verify that the oil is the correct specification for your specific LSD type. Ensure the LSD itself is in good working order.
Setup: Ensure the vehicle's axle and differential are clean and free of old lubricant before filling. Use appropriate tools to fill the differential to the manufacturer's specified level, typically until the oil is level with the fill plug opening.
Compatibility: This oil is specifically recommended for axles subjected to high loads and particularly those fitted with plate-type limited slip differentials. It meets API GL-5 and has ZF approvals (TE-ML 05C, 12C, 16E, 21C). It is also recommended for MIL-L-2105 D, FORD M2C104-A, JOHN DEERE JDM J11F, LIEBHERR, NH 520B, and VOLVO 97310 specifications. Crucially, consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a specialist to confirm compatibility, especially if you do not have a plate-type LSD or are unsure of the axle's requirements. Using this oil in a standard, non-LSD axle may not be necessary and could potentially cause issues if not specified.
Care: Store the oil in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals for gear oil changes. Regular checks for leaks around the axle seals are advised.
