Refreshing to see a dealer be honest vs. guessing. Guessing has not always worked well.

Mobil1 75w90 for years and years with no issues. One reason I like it is because I can get it on the shelf at any Autozone/Kragen/etc. I don't like having to order maintenance fluids on-line.

I also go by the "severe schedule" in my owners manual which states every 15k miles.

I've stuck to those things and now have almost 176k miles on the original diff/tranny/motor.

Should say "gear", I think this is the one.

Actually, it will say "Gear Oil" on it. That is your give away. I don't believe it says "Diff oil" on it. Mobile 1 75w90 GEAR oil is what you want.
