front diff oil
 

what does everyone use/recommend in their front diff? and i wasnt able to find it in the manual of how much the front diff takes.

Re: front diff oil
 

75w90 synthetic. i don't know how much it holds.

Re: front diff oil
 

1.2 pints, or .6 liters per the service manual.

I haven't checked the service manual but will later today. However what you show conflicts with page 10-5 of the 1992 Owners Manual. According to the Owners manual it takes 1.3 Quarts (1.2 liters) in AT differential and .8 Quarts in the rear differential.

Page 9-19 of the Owners Manual lists the viscosity and again the capacities for the AT differential and page 9-21 the same data for the rear differential.

Interesting NOTE: The manual lists 80W/90 for the AT differential and 75W/90 for the rear differential. Of course it provides different weights for different temperature ranges.

You are absolutely right Lee, I checked mine also and it does conflict with the "service manual".

Hopefully he was "thinking with his dipstick" instead of just dumping 1.2 pints in and calling it a day :lol:

Ill have to further scrutinize information in that thing from now on, it seems theres an inaccuracy here and there :rolleyes:

Re: front diff oil
 

Front diffs take 5.5 pints, rear diffs take .8 unless the counter on the 75W90 pump at work is off.. But 5.5 pints puts the level on the dipstick at roughly in between the "L" and "F"...

I put val durablend in the rear and its working great. 80w 90 i'm going to put it in the front soon
