Differential oil Fj80 (1 Viewer)

[Masud]

I'm owner of a 1994 LC Fj80 with 178k miles on it. I kinda live in central California and I was curious taking that in consideration, what type of differential oil should I use for this truck?

I just run Valvoline Dino Juice in the 80/90 flavor. its 20 min to change both front and rear so I do it fairly often.

75w-90 or 80w-90 dino. I use valvoline or similar. Actually last time i used the store brand that the local ranch supply place carries. Something like farm king. Buy dino and change it every year or two, depending on if you run in deep water or not.

i use whatever is sitting around at work that i can "borrow" from them.

Mobil 1 and I prolly threw my $$$ away.
Everyone else seems to run Dino oil without issue so going Full Syn or Racing oil is likely overkill.

Tried to find this local, couldn't. What store carries it? Ended up with Napa brand 85w-90 dino.

Tried there too but no luck, maybe by the next time I'll find some of it.

Lucas 80W-90, cheap on Amazon Prime. It was $21/gal. when I ordered it a couple years ago, it's $30 now. Amazon prices seem to fluctuate a lot. You can use camelcamelcamel.com to set a price alert on the item. Lucas is good stuff IME.

Valvoline 80w90 dino - picked up a bunch at Napa.

 

[Heckraiser]

I use Lucas gear oil too.

Autozone 80w-90 in the 5 gallon drum. Yearly change.

Living in Florida I'm currently running Royal Purple 75-90 but noticed slightly more noise from the case (now at 345,000 miles) so going back to my usual mix of one quart 75W-90 Mobil 1 and one quart 75W-140 Mobil 1 synthetic gear or may go with all 75W-140. As discussed previously the transfer case does not seem to be picky about what gear oil you use however to the person who asked, the manual calls for 75W-90.

Sorry to bring out an old thread but can anyone let me know what "dino" means? I think they are referring to non-synthetic oil but want to make sure. Thanks, Bob in Michigan.
