Mx5 na VLSD question, more of a clarification
i have been informed that the rear diff is unable to be serviced (oil service, not an overhaul)... this is due to another forum. now from what ive heard the only thing about the vlsd that is unservicable is that it cannot be split apart and overhauled.
He mentions about a silicone fluid between the clutches not being able to be changed.... as an intelligent guess the silicone he is talking of is the diff oil thats viscous lsd specific.
any ideas?
he wants a 2nd opinion as to...
- can you change the oil?,
- the silicone in the diff? is it the oil or what?
- and what gains would he have from changing the old crudd oil to a new oil in the diff?
Opinions would be great guys, i have tried explaining as much as i can to him but it got me nowhere

Not sure on the other parts but I recently changed the oil in my VLSD on my '91.
I know that the driveshaft (propshaft if my boss is snooping these forums) on the 1.6Ls can't be serviced (the universals anyway); unsure on the diff.
