<p dir="auto" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">You need to use a gear oil that is specifically made for diffs. There is lots of choice. I now use Millers 80W-120 fully synthetic. Originally it was a 90W mineral oil I believe</p>
