Topic: what oil do you guys use for lockers?

[SQUIRREL MONSTER]

just wonderin what kinda oil to use on mine. i have a detroit in the rear and ARB goin in the front. its a DD if that makes any diffrence i figure with the detroit rear, regular 90-140 would be fine? but what about the front? or??? what you guys use? suggest? recomend?

i use 80/90 front and rear

Any normal gear oil is OK.  The only time different gear oil is required is for some Limited-Slip differentials.  It doesn't matter for locker or spools.

Thicker oil might make them a bit quieter...

this whole new world of axles with lockers and diffrent gears is new to me. out of all 4 trucks ive ever had ive never had either in any of them except my TRD tacoma. even then i only had it long enough to use the locker just for the hell of it mabe 5 times.

ive always gone wherever i wanted to go with open diffs so..... wonder where ill go now that i have lockers, gears, and bigger tires then truck
