I can't remember which type of oil to use in the differential. Someone clue me in. Talk about a major brain slip.

I think its something like 80W-90 but it should say "gear oil" on the bottle.
Might have to use LSD additive if its a track-lock rearend.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

I use full synthetic 75W-90 with the limited slip additive in it. It's very fluid in the cold Minnesota winter and that's why I use it. My Brother put 75-140 in the Crown Marquis and fried the rear axle, it was too heavy."Owning a 9-second Import is like coming out of the closet....

If its an open rear, then you don't need to add the stinky stuff. Same oil tho, just the traction lock rears get an extra additive.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
