Gear Lube with ARB's?
What gear lube is everyone running with their ARB'd differentials? I assume that any regular lube will be fine. Just want to be sure before i toast $2000 worth of gears and lockers

I run the Amsoil Series 2000 75-90W. No problems here. Be sure you do the diff breather extension if you put high dollar oil in the rear diff...........so you don't ruin it with water.

Yeah, regular gear oil is fine. No additives needed.

thanks, that is what i was hoping to hear, i didn't want to get something that would damage any of the seals or o-rings and since i bought used thirds already set-up didn't get much packaging or direction.

I am running the local auto parts brand gear oil right now during the break in period as I'll end up trashing it in a month or so anyway, then I'll put in some high dollar synthetic crap.

I run Redline synthetic 75W-90 gear oil. For added protection I use magnetic diff fill plugs and clean 'em out every time I change my engine oil.
