Wasn't the Motul LS version supposed to be avoided due to the electronic pre torque requirements?

I also threw it into a multiple AI engine that checks others for discrepancies. Here’s what it spit out:

”Motul Gear 300 LS (105778) contains elevated friction modifiers (≥ 3.5% MOS2) that conflict with the electronic LSD’s preload calibration, potentially causing chatter during low-speed maneuvers.

Conclusion

The 2022 Toyota Supra 3.0’s differential unequivocally requires GL-5 75W-85/90 gear oil to meet its hypoid gear protection and electronic LSD compatibility needs. While aftermarket GL-4/GL-5 dual-rated fluids like Motul Gear 300 are acceptable, LS-specific formulations should be avoided. Adherence to Toyota’s 08885-02606 specification ensures optimal performance and preserves warranty coverage. For track-driven vehicles, reduce service intervals to 15,000–20,000 miles and monitor fluid condition using spectroscopy analysis.”

Dammit now I gotta get that juice out. Well I ran it in my auto Supra for a while and tracked it and wasn’t getting any chatter, same for my manual. But I don’t want to go by feel so I will leave that to someone more knowledgeable. Thanks for bringing this to light.
