V6 1LT LSD (Limited Slip Diff) or Not? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi,

Can someone tell me if my 2010 V6 1LT has LSD (Limited Slip Diff) or not?
I've read a few Topics I found but I'm still confused.
VIN: 2G1FB1EV5A9107981

I'm looking to buy some Diff Oil here and just need the one piece of info:

Thank you :-)

I think if you have an auto no LSD. Only the manuals have that

Nope you do not have a LSD since you have an automatic.

I don't think lsd would make a huge difference under 400hp/tq. Especially if you have sticky rubber.

Yea it does make a difference... There is a reason why some A6 V6s can be called one wheel wonders

For drag racing yes it's better grip. But I mostly track the car... BUT, no I'm not betting against you lol.

Sure it does, it makes a big difference if you want to maintain better traction at take off.

it is 100% true that there is more traction with an LSD differential. This is a no brainer.

However, the reason I said it doesn't matter is because I have an Automatic with a bunch of bolt-ons + Bf comp 2 tires on 20" wheels and I am not able to burn them from a standstill. Too sticky! not even a 1 wheel burnout... with the stock 4 seasons that's another story, I had to use a clay bar to clean the rear bumper

BF comp? which ones, or is there only one. I run drag radials at the track and if I don't get them heated up well, or traction is not at its best, I can get the right tire spinning, and really would love to have the left one helping me out. Are the 20's you are using heavy? At the end of this year I will need new tires and am starting to think about what I should switch to next.

So, do I need to add Friction Modifier in the Diff during its Oil Change on my 2010 V6 1LT?

I've bought 'RED LINE Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-90NS GL5 (non Limited Slip) -1 US Quart (0.946 litre)'

Thx.
