What Amsoil in the differentials?

Ordering some Amsoil MTF today and I figured I might as well do the diffs while I'm at it. What fluid(s) do I need to buy and how much to put in the front and back diffs? Any additives?

Front is around 3 qts... back is around 4-5 qts.. on the Dana 80!
Don't know the product names, but I recommend 75w-140.. or 80w-140 for all warm weather, higher HP CTD! (first # not important).

Amsoil has the Friction modifier in all their Gearlube...or use to!

I've got nothing against Amsoil......I do have a membership and use several of their products, but I did not have a good experience with the MTF. Didn't shift well....much notchier. Switched to Redline MTL synthetic and it improved greatly. Just something to think about. Seems many have different experiences though.

thanks for the response. The only reason I'm going with Amsoil is my g/f's father is a dealer and is giving it to me at cost...

www.karlracing.com. They have Royal Purple for $10.11 per quart, no tax, and free shipping. RP also has friction modifier in it. I'm not trying to bash Amsoil. I'm a preferred customer myself and I think they have great products.
