Its a Torsen stands for Torque Sensing, no need special LSD fluid with additives if you are thinking of changing

torsen = torque sensing
Torsen (or TorSen) = a specifictype of torque sensing LSD patented by the Torsen corporation.

I believe that the LSD in the RX-8 is a Tochigi Fuji torque sensing model.
