Hi All,
I'm planning on changing my front and rear diff oil and t-case oil soon. They were changed at a local shop last time and the shop used Redline 75w90 all the way around. This time I'm going to do it myself. Looking on the forum, it appears that most people use Mobil 1, Amsoil, Valvoline, and Royal Purple synthetic gear oil, but not many people use Redline. Are Mobil 1, Amsoil, Valvoline, and Royal Purple synthetic gear oil better suited for the 100 than Redline? I don't have any brand loyalty issues so please let me know if there a reason why Redline is not preferred. I don't want to start a one brand vs. another discussion war, but I appreciate people's input so I can decide what oil to order.
On a side note, I know where the drain and fill plugs are on the rear diff (thanks to the great instructional posts on this forum). Are the plugs on the front diff the same as the rear diff? If not, does anyone have a pic of the front diff showing the location of the drain and fill plugs?
Thanks!
