Thats what i did for my EG6 previously..so far so good with no prob..but this works for me doesn't mean it will work for everyone as the driver's habit play a part..if you love the wack your car and often drops gear to perform apex on band by stressing your LSD, then a better silicon based gearbox oil maybe a suitable replacement instead..

Helical (gear type) LSD like Type-R & Quaife generally just need a normal type gear oil.

Clutch type LSD better to get a proper LSD gear oil.

i presume ur "aggressive" LSD is full lock. Full lock LSD better to use LSD oil such as cusco, kazz, motul, etc. LSD oil are generally higher in viscosity. Alternatively, you could still purchase the normal honda MTF, but you will need to add friction modifier (http://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-80301-Fr ... d+modifier). I've personally tried cusco LSD oil, but the LSD Chattering sound was bad when turning at low speed, especially multi storey carpark. If you're facing the same problem, you could drop in a but of the friction modifier, will help.
