Call me lazy but I would like to know if I can run the 75w90 synthetic for Limited slips in my front Dana 30 . I kinda don't like a different gear oil for my tranny, transfer, and then one for each axle. Too much back and forth haha. I figure 3 is enough so I'd like to avoid the 4th. I of course have an AMC20 with a Limited slip so I'd like to just buy a box of them and leave it at that.

From what I have read it seems like it really won't matter what I put in there as long as it's not Crisco...but I wanted to ask just in case since I can't find this specific question answered.

The autozone people will give me an answer but they're kinda like my chiltons manual...never know when to trust them really :D
 
You should be able to use the oil you want to, then add a bottle of Limited slip friction modifier to your Limited slips diffs.

Thanks for the reply.

I think most of the synth stuff says "for Limited slip"...I'm assuming there really isn't an additive in it but that it's suitable for Limited slip applications etc.

So I was curious if I could put this oil in the front dif and call it good. Am I just being over cautious? lol
 
Slippery is slippery and synthetic gear oil falls in that category rather well.
