They make some hi-tech fluids now that are more expensive, and if I didn't have 200,000 miles on the vehicle, I may of went with one of them brands. | | | Re: Diff oil and type | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 | Do you have your owner manual lister? I'd stick with the manufacturer's recommendation myself. | | | Re: Diff oil and type | Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 80 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 80 | yeah I'll get one sorry, I know the answers to most of the questions I ask are in there.
