^n/p dude. I figured I would get the word out so that someone doesn't make a $500 error. Turns out my error only cost me $30, so that's a plus

I used 75w-90 for Royal Purple and Mobil 1 synthetic. Should take about 2.5 quarts.
I run RP in my rear and didn't add friction modifier....no problems yet.

Oh I definitely got the right stuff, but it almost ruined my diff. b/c I didn't put the modifier in there.

You aren't supposed to use FM w/ RP. Not saying he didn't have problems, but that's the first case I've EVER heard like that.

I'm not saying that everyone will be screwed if they didn't/don't use modifier, but I was almost screwed out of $500 for the diff. I bought.

I just posted my initial comment as a word of caution to the rest of you.

Strange, isn't it? Oh well, I'm just glad it's fixed.

Sorry to those of you who I may have startled. Apparently some people don't have problems when they don't use modifier. As I wrote in my previous post, my initial comment was just an "FYI".
