front diff. fluid?

[waynesburgjay]

I noticed my front diff. leaking just a little. I also noticed it's not atf like it's supposed to be. Would it be alright to use some 85 90 like the rear or should I drain it and use atf.

where did you hear the front diff is supposed to have ATF in it? that's not right... it's supposed to have regular gear oil. the tranny and transfer case are supposed to have ATF, those are the weird ones, diffs take gear oil
