Just wondering if anyone has used fluids other than OEM, in their ACD pump system (specifically for track use or aggressive driving)?

 

The acd pump system uses atf (automatic transmission fluid), is a pressurized system, and should not be changed unless the system fails. The acd diff uses diaqueen lsd fluid but i guess ams oil can be used. That's your call, I would not suggest anything different.

 

I'm trying to get some feedback for post-repair situations rather than maintenance, since most pumps fail eventually and they have to be serviced with either new OEM oil or other...
You mentioned the AMS oil. Have you used it or know of anyone that has used it in their ACD system?

 

Be aware the pump system and differential use 2 different fluids.

That said the pump uses Diaqueen ATF-SP3. This container is in the trunk on the right side. There is no recommended change interval.

The differential is located near the oil pan and uses diaqueen lsd oil. This is what I heard about the ams oil and has a recommended oil change of 15k or 30k miles

I just wanted to be clear on that part. I would stick to the recommended oils if it were my car.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
