So I need to order diff fluid asap and I was thinking amsoil.wondering what is the best to run 75-90 severe gear or synthetic.I got a mag-hytec diff cover and was wondering capacity,8 qts?? Stock front 2 qts?? Would the rear limited slip benefit from an additive?? I know this has probably been mentioned but I'm at work and can't spend time going threw the thousands of threads,thanks

Mag-Hytec's website has all the reccomended fill levels.

I just put the AMSOIL 75w-90 in mine and seems to work great!

The Mag Hytec site says 8 quarts, but I have asked around and 5-6 quarts seems to be all anyone recommends for it. Can any of our "experts" given any final clarity to this?

Juniordiesel I'm assuming you went with the severe gear??

 

[05toyhauler]

We have an actual locker right?? Not a limited slip??

 

[RedBowTies88]

Not a limited slip so additiave won't do any good

 

[05toyhauler]

Thought so,thanks

Mag Hytec covers are bigger and allow for more fluid. Your probably right with 5-6 if you have a stock cover. Id get 6 to be safe.

AMSOIL recommends Severe Gear 75W-90 for our differentials. You will need almost 2 qts for the front and almost 4 for the back. If you are running the Magtech cover, you will need an additional 4 qts of fluid.

If I can be of assistance, just pm me.

Take care,
