Ive used Castrol VMX80 in the gearbox/t,case and front diff. Rear diff I used Castrol LX 90 lsd oil.
If you dont have an lsd ,then use the same oil all through

I think any well known quality oil will do. The Castrol is popular in OZ as it allows the synchroes to work nicely.

So you bought it then? Let's see some pics.


I like Canadian tire brand gear oil. They even have a synthetic if you wish. 75w90 or so.

It depends on where your truck is operated, and you choose not to say where you're located. If I used the gear oil the Oz guys recommend, the truck wouldn't shift when the temp gets below -10 and the mileage would drop like a rock.

Amsoil Heavy DUty Diesel oil is the best on the planet.

Amsoil 75/90 synthetic gear oil is the only way to go, for the transmission (manual) and t-case and diffs.
