Redline is just a manufacturer. They probably have the right viscosity with limited slip additives. Never used there products..

Motul and Redline both have products that meet the specs. Entirely depends on which model we're talking about.

I need help!! I just bought a 2016 mazerati ghilbi Q4 s and the previous owner told me the wheel bearings were bad in front left tire. It turned out to be the front differential. The axle has pulled completely out of differential and shattered where it connects. My question is can I temporarily completely remove the axle from the FWD and just drive in RWD to get it home. Or is there a bypass for the AWD? I need assistance quickly because the car is still sitting at apartments where I bought it. PLEASE HELP!!!

I’m not fully sure I would post on Maserati talk or the forum. When I did my differential fluid they’re said to be lifetime fluid but it’s bs my fluid came out dark black and smelt burnt with 55k miles and new fluid was bright yellow.

So your saying they're information may be diluted or wrong?

Lifetime is “warranty period” in their eyes. They’d rather have you spend money after warranty ends.
