Safe to use? I got a wide range of comments from people putting 75w90, 75w140...I like doing research before i commit to a product and I know Amsoil is one of the best.

From Amsoil.....

" AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® 75W-110 fills the gap between the 75W-90 and 75W-140 viscosity gear lubes. This new viscosity grade, 75W-110, offers a high temperature film protection without compromising fuel economy while addressing performance and protection. Designed to provide superior protection for elevated operating temperatures without sacrificing fuel efficiency, it is formulated for use with limited slip clutches and is ideal for turbo diesel pickup trucks, vehicles used for towing and hauling and other vehicles subject to severe service operating conditions, including heavy equipment, construction vehicles, emergency vehicles, street rods and 4x4 vehicles."

Doesn't it even really matter by the "w" of the oil...90,110,140 all good right?

to the op, that will be fine.

to derekstang, according to torsen, you are to use any gl4/gl5 oil, according to manufacturer's specifications.

I have always wondered this too and have yet to get a definitive answer. Some say RP sux and others say it is great...

I just replaced my diff fluid with RP 75w-140(thats what the diff cover tag says to use). The crappy thing is i just found out that i have some bearings going out in my rear, but i know its not from the RP. I would run what Ford recommends.
