Differential Oil...?

Dodge wants over $35 per quart for their diff oil. 7 qts = $245. i have used ams oil in previous vehicles without any problems. What about Mobil 1 GL5, 75-90? Anyone with advice....i sure would appreciate it.

I used a non Mopar brand when I changed mine. I wanted the Mobil 1 but couldnt find any. Ended up using Valvoline synthetic. As long as your GL5 rated your ok.

I just put on a mag-hytec rear cover with mobil1 75-90 was $9.99 at autozone.

Any synthetic will work, I've saw Royal Purple also available at another parts store, but was much higher.

Blacktec is the polar opposite of Bluetec

If bluetec scrubs the emissions from the atmosphere, blacktec puts em there.


DTR slang for removing the bluetec system and letting the engine breath properly, and, at the same time, putting a lil black smoke out.....
