What weight/type fluids recommended

I have a new to me 2011 DD with the 5.7 hemi and AWD and tow package. It’s at 117k miles and I want to do a complete fluid change. Can anyone tell me where I can find factory specs for front/rear diff fluids and trans fluids? Thanks!

Check your owners manual.

Thanks I plan on doing some moderate towing during the summer with our camper. Is the mopar gear lube the best or should I go for a high end synthetic like royal purple for the diffs. Thanks

Can't go wrong with manufacturer recommended fluids. If you want to put in something else, just make sure it meets manufacturer specifications.

I’ll probly go with mopar or royal purple. Anyone know the rough capacities of the diffs? At around $25 a bottle, I want to get the right amount. Also with friction modifier, is there a ratio I need to follow so I can mix it in before I pump it in?
