No LSD with Option Pack 120 Series Auto

Hi Guys, I discovered something interesting (well for me). I'm up for my 40,000km service and I am replacing the diff and transfer case oils. I started looking for oil quantities and discovered models with Traction control and VSC don't have a rear LSD. I thought this must be wrong, so I put the Prado up on my hoist. Low and behold she doesn't have an LSD.

That's correct Wally.

Only those without Option Pack have the rear LSD, traction control is supposed to take care of the wheel spin...

Thanks Michael. I'd always just assumed it had an LSD. Which means the 4ltrs of LSD oil I've had sitting in the workshop is not getting used... this time.

LSD oil is better than non-LSD, so might as well use it.
