Front DIFF 75/90 OK??

I know the book calls for 80/90 but I have some premium synthetic 75/90 at home already I would like to use in the front diff.. just wanting to know if it would be OK to use. Also , no LS additive goes in the front only the back correct? Thanks!

That’s fine. You only need friction modifier if you have a friction clutch style limited slip differential. Those only come on the DRW rear or the Tremor front axles.

Yep, mines a DUally so figured for the rear, just not front. THanks!
