Default Rear Differential Fluid
Has anyone been changing out for Synthetic or just sticking with what it's got? Bolt on M6 car.

Yes we have all been doing it. For like 3 years now. The factory fluid is Synthetic.

There are many threads on this. Search bar is great.

Redline, Amsoil, and Mobil 1, are all quality products. Depending on application you may need a additional friction modifier additive.
