I opt for the recommended lubricant to supply the correct amount of friction required to operate the Eaton G80 differential.

Yes, it's good stuff, and Redline is also good stuff. :D I am using Redline Heavy Shock Proof gear oil in both differentials and their synthetic ATF in my T-case. :wink:

Swbari00, here is some info that might help. Use GM Axle Lubricant (GM P/N 1052271), or equivalent SAE 80W-90 GL-5 Gear Lubricant. :wink:
