axle oil help

kevinsranger · May 19, 2008

will it hurt anything if i put 80/90w with limited slip oil in my front dana 35 and 8.8 rear axle that does not have limited slip? i have a five gallon pail of the oil that already has limited slip addidive in it and i just want to make sure that it wont matter, i dont think it does, but you guys know better then i do.

As long as it's GL-5 hypoid gear oil, limited slip really doesn't matter.

Just remember if your truck still has autolocking front hubs you need 75W90 GL5 in the front.

mhughes165 · May 20, 2008

kevinsranger · May 20, 2008
