Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
Thanks Bob. I am leaning towards the 75-140 synthetic. Although
temperature rarely (never) goes below zero in Auckland and max in summer is around 26/28C, I do a lot of highway driving some weeks of the year. One of our clients is about 125 kms away (round trip 250 kms). Dealer is closed today, I'll see if they are open tomorrow for some advice. I don't pull any trailers at all. Just some steep hills and highway speeds. We are heading towards winter. I was just checking the www.mobil.co.nz website and they recommend three Mobil 1 oils: Mobilube SHC 75W-90 / Mobilube SHC 80W-140 / Mobilube HD 75W-90 for a '01 Jeep Wrangler. I think I'll stick to Mobilube SHC 80W-140 and add the additive in the rear for LSD. Hopefully this solves the issue before it becomes a big problem ($$$). Thanks for all your help.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
It is almost for sure your rear differential. I would change the fluid and
be sure the additive is in it. Synthetic for your type of driving is not necessary, but you can use it if you want.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
Thanks Tom. I'll change the oil this weekend as soon as I can find any
auto shop open. Its against the law for shops to remain open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday in New Zealand.. If the price difference is not huge, I'll go with synthetic.
