Rear differential
Gear oil spec
Mopar Gear & Axle Lubricant SAE 75W-85 GL-5
Limited-slip differential. Friction modifier: required on Trac-Lok limited-slip (M220). Use an LSD-rated gear oil or add the modifier — a non-LSD fluid can make an LSD chatter.
Spec from the OEM (oem manual).
Spec anchored to the OEM owner's manual; the capacity, when it carries the verified badge, is cross-checked against an independent source. Never changed by what an affiliate link pays us. Your owner's manual is always the final word — and if your axle has a locker or an option package, double-check the capacity for your exact build.
