Default Recommended fluid for a tru-trac
I just purchased a tru-trac for my 9in rear, haven't received it yet, and I was wondering what is the recommended fluid for this diff. I would like to go with royal purple, it's what I've always used, will this be ok, if so what weight?

The Tru-Trac is clutchless, I would think you can use the synthetics.

I stand corrected, thank you.
Interesting sense it shares a similar design with the torsen and synthetics are just fine for those.
