It will be ok provided it is the right weight, more expensive though for no real advantage. LSD oil is formulated to prevent slippage in the LSD clutches.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

It's fine to use LSD oil instead of normal gear oil, but not the other way around.

I thought it was the other way around. Friction modifiers allow the clutches to slip smoothly, rather than repeatedly slip and grip - which creates the "chatter" for which some LSDs are well known, such as the Holden/Isuzu LSD.
