 Subject: New Gear oil and Sparks
IP: Logged
Message:
I need some expertise.
I am going to replace my gear oil and spark plugs in a few weeks.
Can you guys please tell me what the best stuff is to stick in there?
Obviously the amsoil guy will tell me that its the best, but what kind, why, and so on.
As well, NGK spark plugs, but what kind, why, etc?
Thanks.

If you are remaining stock (i.e. not modifying anything) Autolites 5224 Copper (not platinum)they are very low cost at Walmart.
Any of the synthetic gear oils work fine, if you have a LSD diff make sure you have the friction modifier added (although most synthetics have it in the oil).
If you have modified and are going for the performance gains, then this becomes a complicated subject.
Hope this helps.

|  Amsoil Differential Fluids and DIY -- Amzoil
IP: Logged
Message:
My only advice is to NOT go with a heavier viscosity differential fluid. Your miles per gallon will be negatively affected because of the "unnecessary" thicker viscosity.
__________________________________________________
DIY Helpful Information
For those of you thinking of changing your own fluids (DIY) ...
Helpful Differential Recommendations:
-Flush (drain) as much of the old fluid out.
-Differential fluid capacity depends on ring gear and axle housing size.
-Do not over/under fill differential. This could mean a capacity difference of a quart or more and may cause overheating problems. (See the owner’s manual for proper fill level)
AMSOIL gear oils are formulated with friction modifiers for limited slip differential applications. There is no need to add limited slip or additional additives.
-After changing the differential fluid, drive the vehicle in 7 or 8 figure eight turns, so the new lubricant can work its way into the axle assembly.
