Rear diff fluid

Quick question....

I searched the archives and found an answer to my question about fluids.....

le607
motul 90
mobil 1

etc......

however, my next question is....

Has anyone run into problems using the mobil1.... as it is a 75 -90w vs. a full 90w like the owners manual states?

mobil 1 is readily available, where as the others have to be ordered.......

thanks

I've never heard of any problems arising from using M1.

Personally, I'd go with the le607. You can't wait a couple of days?

Re: Rear diff fluid (cmdr430)

I would recomend using Valvoline 80-90 synthetic. The rear diff is very sensitive with what fluids you use. I have gotten rid of several different noises for customers by using the synthetic. Hope that helps.

I haven't heard of anyone having problems with Mobil 75-90. I use LE607 myself.
