Unless I'm mistaken there are 2 different weight gear oils. 85w90 weight is for most differentials and 90w140 is for limitted slip differentials.

I don't have my usual referance sources with me now. Do you have an Owners Manual? The manual will tell you for sure but my 2005 Silverado front differential has Mobil Synthetic 75W-90 in it. The manufacturer specs 80W-90 for the front and rear differential. The 80W-140 lubes are usually for very severe service.

Replacing rear-main seal

D

DIYDick on Oct 15, 2008

A friend of mine has a constant leak from the back of her motor. W/out lifting it up, it appears to be the rear-main. I am aware that it may NOT be, but i wanted to know how difficult it would be to replace and what are the specialty tools needed for the job. The vehicle is a [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]96 lexus sc300[/COLOR]. If it requires the engine to be pulled then an estimated price for repairs would be fine. Thank you for your help.Read More
