Re: Differentail fluid efficacy
Hi Mike,
FYI You might want to look at your manual and see what qualifies your
wagon to use the lube maintenance schedule "B":

the axle didn't have to be changed every twelve, or twenty four thousand
miles.

It is a big oversite to never change the lube LSD based or not. It
gets dirty too and it is a bigger concern than viscosity breakdown. As
far as grade, people seem to be SYN crazy these days but 80w90 dino
works fine as does 75w90 dino in colder climates. IF you tow hard in
warm or haot weather I would not use 75w90 though and would lean
towards 85w140 as it does well in extreme towing.

Hi Bill,
Ooops....ya got me. I guess I should've looked at the "B"
schedule.....figured the original poster was like a lot of Jeep owners
in that they rarely, if ever, take their ride off into the boonies.
Thanks for the info :-)
