No. Use differential oil stated in the manual.

You generally only need additives (friction modifiers) on clutch type LSD's. The stock viscous diff does not require anything beyond the correct oil. Having said that, get some Royal Purple, Redline, Mobil 1 or Amsoil and you're good to go.

How much fluid is needed to change for a 6MT Non-LSD.

What type should I get specifically?

Thanks!!
