Someone told me you can't mix synthetic with regular axle lubricant because it will tear up the gears.I did see where mobil 1 has gl4 and gl5 specs.I did use it one time in a 1998 Ford ranger and the rear end went out.Maybe coincidence. I run Mobil I oil in all my vehicles even the Duramax. Not sure on this axle situation.

I agree, synthetic is the way to go.
Although I haven't put any in the engine yet, of the P5 anyway.

Omg she loves it runs so smooth

Just make sure it's a motorcycle oil designed for transmissions. Slick50 is a NO NO!

Honda has a full Synth oil.

Just installed mobil 1 75w140.The front housing appears to hold more volume than the rear.I was kind of surprised at that.

FINALLY got around to changing the dif fluid and definitely made a huge difference in the rearend noise and thats what i was shooting for yay go me pats on the back lmao

Would you change oil right after you bought unit? I just got it 2 days ago and reading this post , was thinking if I change it now I would reduce that noise. Please advice.

What's the stock diff oil? I'm probably gonna throw my Torq Locker in tomorrow, but the diff only has about 20 miles on it. I'd like to continue to run the stock stuff to allow a good wear/break-in before switching over to some thicker synthetic. Plan is to run it for 3 days at PTO with the stock fluids, then change everything over to synthetic when I get home as it should be well past the 100 mile mark by that time.
