| I would use a fluid heaver than 10k in the rear for all but very low traction conditions. Balance is important for these cars. Remember if the front diff is a 4 gear one, then it will require a heaver fluid to attain the same characterstics as a 6 gear diff. Try the 20k weight fluid and see how the car performs under power on steering, acceleration and sweepers. |

| Also to answer all of your question, I have been using OFNA silicone fluid (20K) and Associated silicone fluid (10k, 100K). Both are working well for all of my cars. |

There is no silicone oil in the one way - they are just two bearings.
Once you have been using it awhile you need to clean and relube the bearings with a *light* oil. There is special one-way lube around. If you use oil too heavy the one-way bearings will slip. |
