Might want to look at the clutches before you need new side and spider gears.

I used the Chevron 75-90 (or maybe it was the 90-140...don't remember) full synthetic. Never a problem with the limited-slip. I used the Lucas synthetic 5-30 for my Getrag and really like the results with that.

I use 75-90 synthetic with 1 qt of synthetic lucas for front and rear ends abd t-case. 190,000 no problems yet but like Dave said it sounds like you need more than an oil change.
