you need to go and do figure 8's for 30 mins or so. Then drain and re-fill new fluid. Make sure you add the LSD additive of use a fluid that has it. Royal Purple has it in it.

Nope. No one is pulling your leg. You really do need to do figure 8's for at least 15-20 mins. Then drain & refill.

Everything they're saying is true, OP. Only Torsens require no break in or LSD additive.
