Rear Diff. Oil.
Im getting ready to change my rear diff. gear oil in my 00 F350 7.3 and was wondering the capacity (quarts of oil) and what is the best oil to use, non synthetic type.
Thanks for any replies.

wgw,
Definitely consult your owner's manual. Should be something in there about a "friction modifier" (ie, additive) that is required of the rear gear oil. There should be a metal tag on your rear differential that will tell you what weight gear oil to use.
I used Royal Purple in my rear differential (75/140 weight). That's for a 2002 F-250 2WD 5.4L gasser, though. It already has the friction modiifier in it. Other brands are Red Line and Amsoil.
