Front and Rear Diff Transfer Case

I just picked up a 96 f150. I am looking to change the fluid in the front and rear diff and t-case. Is syntheic the way to go? Also I have hurd royal purple is the best is there any truth to that? How much gear oil for the front and rear diff should I need?

Depends on who you ask. My opinion is, RP is excellent quality, and I run it in everything. I run Synchromax in my T-case.

This should give you all your capacities:

I would go synthetic. It will improve just about everything including the quintessential fuel economy.
