What fluid in my differential
I have a 1994 f-150, 302, 5spd tranny. I believe it has the 8.8 ford rear end and a dana 44 front. I was just wondering what weight fluid and how much went into them. I plan on changing to synthetic and hope to do this tonight at least to the rear end.
Thanks,
Matt

Where did you hear that, Chris?
A 75w90 is a 75-weight oil with modifiers to make it act like a 90-weight oil at higher temperatures. A 75w140 is a 75-weight with modifiers to make it act like 140-weight at higher temps. So it all depends on what your application is, not on some rule of thumb.

Andy sent me a link to an article written by a guy who was employed for an oil manufacturing company and he explained how motor oil works and what the rating system means, and how to choose different oils for different applications. One of the things I remembered was that he said to try to choose an oil with the smallest difference between temperature ratings. I'll see if I can dig up the link later.
