Hey hydra, I now work in the service center of a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership and IIRC it is Castrol under the name of Mopar. I know as a fact nothing we use is under the name of Lucas Oil and I know as a fact nobody in the service center uses anything with Lucas.
We only carry Mopar brand at our dealership and I know as a fact we don't carry 90w differential fluid. We also put factory spec weight fluids in the vehicle and not 90w in a Durango. The Durango calls for 75w-90, not to mention I've never heard of a 90w differential gear lube. The only thing I've ever heard of a 90w being is a Manual Transmission gear lube, which is two completely different ball games we're playing here. We use many different weights so we don't use one specific weight.

Im running a manual tranny in my truck thus the 90w. also it brakes down slower and retains less heat. i work my truck hard. and i play even harder with it. i have been running the Lucis in everything i own including the 3/8 oval track race car tranny and diff and thats a 01 dodge neon r/t. my GF nissan Sentra has 175k on it and only get lucis ran threw it. ( need to warm it up in the winter but that ok). and if out look for heavy trucks its 90w 110 or 120 something like that. i dont see why the 75w or 80w wouldnt work just as well.

Additives are like herbs, they are unregulated!!!!!!!!! So a company can put WHATEVER they want into it and sell it to you for big money. If you want to be their pray, then have at it.
