I'm replacing the rear end oil today and have no luck finding information. Can anyone help me with type, viscosity, and amount to add to my truck. Thanks in advance.

I use 85w-140 multi-grade gear oil. Good for all seasons. As for the quantity, don't you just fill to the bottom of the plug hole?

"API Category GL-5 designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoids in automotive axles under high-speed and/or low-speed, high-torque conditions. Lubricants qualified under U.S. Military specification MIL-L-2105D (formerly MIL-L-2015C), MIL-PRF-2105E and SAE J2360 satisfy the requirements of the API GL-5 service designation."
