What gear oil and additive for Strange 12 bolt with posi?
I need to change the gear oil in my 12 bolt, what does Strange recommend? Its got the posi, so I'm sure it needs an additive. I've always used the GM stuff in the 10 bolt, had bad experiences with the other brands.
Thanks!
Thanks!

85w 140
Just spoke to Strange on Friday. 12 bolt with HD Eaton = 2 Qts Non -Synthetic 85W140 + 4 oz of limited slip additive.
I used Lucas Oil for the 1st time to see how it works.
However, I didn't put the additive in because I've read threads that say if you want less slip in your posi don't add it.

Yeah, I did that once too. Killed the posi. Not a good idea, its actually a friction modifier, makes the posi work better.
