LSD question
In the Philippines, the new cars don't really have window stickers that tell you what options a particular car has. My car was specced by MB Philippines but they can't tell me if the car has an LSD or not. All they know was that they ordered the speed limiter delete. To my knowledge, there is no such option as a stand alone speed deliniter only option.
I was wondering if the car has the LSD as well as part of the incomplete P30 option of earlier build cars. I have the sticker on the windshield that requires a differential oil change at 3,000KM or 1,875Miles. Did this sticker only come out on cars with LSD or to all C63s?
I have not been able to feel the LSD since the car is still being broken in and have not been pushing it.

I have not driven the car hard yet but there are 3 C63s officially imported in the Philippines with the same specs. One of the other cars was sold a few months back and is owned by a friend and he took his to 290+kmh (180+mph) so it is surely delimited. There is new highway that goes to Subic that was built with the help of the Japanese government so it is pretty much world class and close to Autobahn quality where car enthusiasts stretch the legs of their cars.
All I need to know is if CATS (official importer) specced it with the P30 package which was incomplete at the time of the build of our cars. No brakes, no suspension and suede steering wheel.
The car has the change the diff oil sticker on the windshield so it may have the LSD. I wonder if the non-LSD C63s have to change their diff oil at 1,875 miles as well.

C63 09' LSD traded for 2010 GT-R
My build date was 8-2008 and was suppossed to be a 030 package but only came with the LSD and Speed limiter moved-up. You might have gotten the same thing.

I think mine was July 08 so it may be the ones with the incomplete P30 batch. Hopefully, I have the LSD as well as the speed limiter delete. I'll try to get more info from CATS. They promised me that they will look for the actual order sheet for the car and send it to me.

There's always the old fashioned way to see if you have a LSD. With the engine off raise the rear tires up off of the ground with the transmission in Neutral and the parking brake off. Spin one rear tire and if the other tire spins the other direction it's an open differential and if it spins the same direction it's a LSD.
