Default Rear end Lube :) .......???

Just picked up a used 10 bolt with 3.73's for my car (Thanks Joe @ JPR!). I have to swap axles and while I am at it I am going to pull the T/A cover, inspect things and change the lube.

Any suggestions on what type to use? How much should I put in??


Thanks,
-Nick

If U have the Zexel Torsen style differential thicker is better as far as oil goes and synthetic is great too.

I use 95-140 in mine.

Since it is a non-clutch type posi the thicker oil increases the torque bias. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Cool, thanks guys.

Can anyone give me a ball-park figure on how much I will need?

TIA,
