Rear axle LSD fluid?
Just ordered a new rear axle for my truck since my old one had a catastrophic pinion bearing failure.
Old axle was an open differential..."new" one is an LSD. What type and how much fluid should I use for it? Thanks guys.

Just download the service manuals on the top of the forum so many people overlook them but they are there.

I did my durango last weekend it held just over 2 1/2 quarts so buy three. Use fully synthetic. If it is LSD add 5 OZ of friction modifier. I would add it even if the synthetic oil say it already has it.
