Thank you for the information. You obviously have information that is different from what we have.

That guide was written in 2018.

I decided to replace the oil in the box and completely confused. TIS recommends that you use the MTF-2. But some say that you need to use MTF94, so that the differential lock works correctly. Please tell me what is better to use in a mechanical box with LSD Getrag GS6-85 BG/DG
The old information we have specifies MTF94 for the Getrag 6-speed GS6-85 BG/DG transmission with the mechanical limited slip.

Current information from 02/2019 release notes specifies MTF2 or MTF3 depending on the number printed on the decal found on the transmission.
