OEM fill usually feels the best in the cold, but also begins to suffer in high temps.

Gear 300 LS works better for track related use for the additional frictional modifiers. It just feels different. It's not something most people will notice on their everyday drive.
Mike, correct me if I am wrong, but the Gear 300 LS can't be used in the trans because it isn't GL4 rated? Only the Gear 300 NON-LS can be used in the Trans, that's one reason we use the non-LS across the board so that we can put in rear diffy and trans without issue.
