Front Axle Lube ?
Folks, I know this might be considered a silly question but I was wondering what people that live in remote areas use for lubricant in a Dana 50-IFS? (In a 93 F-250)
I checked the zany Haney manual and it specs Ford # F1TZ-19580-A / the local parts store either didn't know or said justto put the standard hypoid lube (80-90) in it / Motorcraft has some sort of 75-90 front axle lube for sale but I can't tell if that is for this axle.
There must be some sort of reasonable material from the local parts store but I know after looking at the existing fluid it is not the standard hypoid gear lube. (it's thinner and clear, but smells the same.)
If you folks don't know, I guess I'll run the issue past the parts dept. at Ford, but man this one seems simple but I have spent an hour and a half looking at the net and found very little addressing axle lube in general other than the limited slip additive...which I don't think applies to my front axle.
Thanks in advance for any help!

my 95 f-150 runs 75w90 synthetic gear oil,that is what the factory puts in it,i just changed it again,using synthetic again.i would put synthetic back in it.
i have over 160,000 on the truck,changed the gear oil in the rear every 40,000,this time running straight lucas oil stabilizer in the back rear.
