I recently serviced my front and rear differentials. The rear I removed the cover and wiped it clean. The front I was unable to remove the cover due to the metal bars under there, but I was able to loosen enough of them to pry the bottom open gently with a straight blade screwdriver to drain it. I filled them both to 1/4" from the hole with 70/90 W Mobil 1 Synthetic.

BTW I tourqued the cover bolts to 30lbs and the fill plug to 24lbs. Does all this sound right...(outside of the gearlube preference).

Where can I get the Amsoil gearlube so many of you talk about. All I could find to use locally was Mobil 1 and with no preference, that's what I used, and it wasn't cheap.

Just want to make sure I did this right... my first time and all.
If not I'll redo it.

thanks for any input.

You have to buy Amsoil from an Amsoil dealer. That way you can help all those above you in their pyramid scheme.

 

I hear you!!!
