Which gear lube
I have an 06 D with a "DRAS Corporate 8.25 Rear Axle". I don't see anything in the build sheet about anti-spin. All it says was synthetic. So what's the best gear lube these days? I don't tow (yet) and even then it'll be dragging under 3K lbs. I see a ton of options out there but was wondering what the most popular is.

I like to use Mobil 1 or Royal Purple. In my area currently, Mobil 1 is on sale for $2 off per quart at Auto Zone.
If you tow heavy and hard frequently, run the 75/140 in the rear and the 75/90 in the front.
If you tow very infrequently like me, running the 75/90 front and back is fine.
BTW, Anti Spin was not an option on 4x4 Gen 2 Durangos. I believe it was available for the rear on 4x2 D's.
Hint:
AZ sells a really nice metal pump that resembles a grease gun for ~$12 that will let you pump the old out and new oil in without removing the inspection covers.
