Gear Oil Question

HI,
Truck is a 2011 F-350 6.7 4WD, dually diesel.
The tag on my rear axle differential cover says : 3.73, BC34-MD , 2013832-5 , LS . I know its a 3.73 Limited slip rear.
I think it's a Dana M80 rear but i'm not sure. Door pillar sticker says Axle code is 3L.
Could some one tell me for sure what rear it has, I need to buy Gear oil for it and not sure which one to buy.

Thanks
Rich,

Your LS uses clutches, you will need to add a bottle of friction modifier to the gear lube. DRW is the Dana M80. SRW is the Sterling 10.5".

Thanks , got it,
I didn't see where it said single rear wheel for the Sterling or dually for the Dana M80 and they both list 350's so I thought i would this great community of knowledge before I made a mistake.

Many thanks,
Rich

Super 80. I used Valvoline in mine, Had the friction modified in it and worked well.

Buy some RTV, there is no gasket when you do the job.

Lube Locker makes a reusable gasket for the 80. I have their gasket in my Sterling 10.5. No leaks since changing mine 21k miles ago.

Hi,
I'm not doing a drain and refill , just topping off the rear because i'm replacing the rear rotors and I lost a little bit in the process.

Alrighty then. You have it for future reference then if you do decide to buy one when or if you decide to drain and fill your diff fluid.

And if your diff needs it, when you change it, look and see if the gear oil you have or will buy, already has it in the oil. That's the easier solution.
