i need to do the fluid in the diff and was wonder what the best fluid i should use is. does any one recomend redline fluid maybe ams oil whats the best i can use

 

I have no idea what is the best you can use.

Personally I suggest using the cheapest that works. This is an especially good idea if, by using a cheaper fluid, you can afford to swap it more often.

The spec calls for 90w oil, but many people (including me) have used 75w-90 for years without issues. I usually use 75w-90 Mobil 1 synthetic.

well the price is not a problem and the car only moves about 300 miles a month so it wont be due for a while

 

i read threw all that and i still dont understand what they are talkin about i just need to do the diff fluid and i want something good and what meets or execeds oem spec

 

If it says 90w, GL5, hypoid gear oil -- then it meets the OEM specs.

 

Redline

 

I recommend that you use LE 607 (buy a quart from Rick's or Hardtopguy) if you live in a moderate to hot climate. Use AMSOIL SVT 75W110 if you live in a cold climate and drive your car in the winter. That's the best protection advice I can offer at this time.

 

How can people say they "read" the sticky and not understand how to change this stuff. It's pretty damn obvious if you actually "read" like you said. Everything you need to know is in there, just take the time to read it.

The other day someone put LE607 in their tranny even though they "read" the oil journals.

 

i read it but dont understand all the poor pionts and crap like that. all i want is a really good diff rplacement fluid. i know how to change my diff oil thats not the problem
