Differential fluid?

[Jeep 5150 2112]

Thanks I thought of that one also but they can see the cancelation and the return of the items. It's good thinking though. Thanks

I have a 2018 JL sport the limited slip differential I cannot get a straight answer on what type of fluid I need to use. The dealer fluid is $50 a quart for 75 w85. I've been told by people I have to use that and an LSD modifier. I've also been told I could just use an 80 w 90 synthetic with an LSD additive. Anybody know the answer. Thank you

Here’s your straight answer. Call( Amsoil) and they will tell you what you use. Also their differential fluid does not require an additive. They ship right away. If you pay 50 dollars for a qt of anything other than a good whisky it’s your bad. Change your on oil and diff fluid. Don’t let the dealer touch your veh unless warranty work.

IF, if you are towing (have tow package) use Valvoline or Royal Purple 75w140 Syn. Gear Oil in the rear...

What weight would you choose if all you tow is the occasional dirt bike trailer? Probably a total of 500 to 600 pounds of trailer and bike. I have a 2 door Rubicon.

I would use 75w140 in the Dana 44 axles no matter what. It's what Dana recommends. If you don't have Dana 44's then I'm not sure.

75W-140.

1,300 lbs., all in.

I highly recommend the Valvoline just for the ease of use. Just get it in the weight you need for your differentials.

75W-140 (and don't look back)...

Thanks, I bought 2q each of the 140 for the rear and 90 for the front last night. I'll probably exchange the 90 for 140 today so I can run it in both.

Just got done talking to Mike over at https://www.moparbayarea.com/ (Berkeley Jeep - 341-766-0553 option 5), he was great. Ordered on-line and saved some $$$ with local pickup. I have a 2019 Rubicon and he gave me the following part numbers:
68378949AA - 75-85 weight - x3 to do both front and rear differentials
4318060AD - limited slip - just for rear axle.
