I have searched over many posts and have been doing some research on trans. and rear end fluid. I have come to the conclusion of using Royal Purple Syncromax in the tranny, but I still dont know about the rear end. I have found it unclear if running synthetic is bad and if you need an additive or not for the limited slip. So what should I look for??? My stang is my daily driver so I want performance with longevity. I know many of you have different opinions on what to run, but I am mostly after the "this will wreck your rear end if you..." help. thanks a lot guys!

use a synthetic diff lube, Mobil 1, Redline, and RP are all good. i do not believe you need the additive with most of the synthetics.

Believe it comes factory with Synthetic in the rear end diff. I also would think as long as its one of the brands mentioned above and amsoil....that the next questions should be price and availability.

Is it necessary to change the diff. fluid on a regular basis? I would guess so since it protects moving parts. But the manual says it's supposed to last a lifetime..
