Good question, MT-90 does not contain any friction modifiers that are usually found in limited slip lubes, so it's nt really ideal. Honestly though, I've never heard of anyone having a problem with MT-90 and a LSD in a front wheel drive car. You could try the MT-90 and if you notice problems like chattering in the turns, add a little of the friction modifier(it can be purchased seperately).

Do NOT use Redline's 75W-90 in the Maxima's transmissions. It is a straight GL5 gear lube that can cause major damage to the softer metals if you use it.
