Oil for locking diff?
Ive got an 89 F150 with the 8.8" rear end. Its got the factory locker and im not sure what sort of gear oil I should use (Im pretty sure theres a special type). I also dont if it is a locker or a limited slip, because I dont know the difference between them. So basicaly Im wondering what a locker and a limited slip diff is, which one I have, and what oil I should use. Any help is great.

Look on door jamb tag under axle if it has a letter in the code it is traction lock which has a cluth assy to control slippage between the rear wheels. I believe a locker is both rear wheels turn togetherall the time mechanically locked.
