ALSO FYI if you guys are interested on 15 bucks a bottle contact MERC... they have it without the Friction Modifier for less than half a bottle compare to BMW...

Here you go...

Good heads up. It might be an even better deal than you first thought. It's my understanding that the "limted slip" labeling on the Castrol 75w-140 (and most other brands') bottles is an indicator of a friction modifier that has been added to the differential fluid. In this case, the wording on the Castrol website spec sheet for their Limited Slip 75w-140 hints that it has a friction modifier in it:

"Advantages - Reduces noise and vibrations in the axle."
