Detroit locker Gear oil?
What's a good gear oil on Detroit Lockers and Limited slip gear sets?

This is for a TrueTrac Detroit on a Dana 60.

Is the 75w140 syntheic worth it... or is it OK to stay with the cheeper gear oils?

Lubrication
The TrueTrac differential is designed to operate in those lubricants recommended by the vehicle/axle
manufacturer for conventional differentials.



right from the instruction pdf

looks like regular oil is fine

Thanks,

A couple people said to run the sythetic, but this is not some sponcered race truck so I wasn't seeing the needless waste of $$$.
