The metal tag on mine has "75W140 synth oil only" stamped on it. The open diffs take thinner lube. The clutches in the tlok generate a lot of heat.

I have heard Royal Purple is good. But I used Mobile 1 when I had my gears put in. I was told it was told it was the way to go when I picked it up at Autozone.
