Does anyone know what weight rear differential oil to use on my 2006 300 SRT-8 for my Quaife and DSS Axle install. I have 75-90 Royal Purple but I just read somewhere that this stock rear takes 75-140 weight. I purchased it from a vendor here that said to use 75-90 so that's what I bought. Maybe the use of the Quaife requires a different weight (75-90) compared to the stock open diff weight of 75-140. I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the Quaife site for what they want used. Once the factory diff is out it is up to the center section manufacture on the oil spec.

What sort of gear lube should I use ?
For QUAIFE ATB Differentials:
When running a QUAIFE ATB Differential in a standard transaxle gearbox, we recommend that you use whatever your vehicle's manufacturer recommends. The QUAIFE ATB Differential does not require any special lubricants.

When running QUAIFE gearbox internals and a QUAIFE ATB differential – we recommend Silkolene SYN5 75W90.

For a QUAIFE ATB differential, running in a rear axle – use a hypoid 90 or 75W90, as above.

For those applications that will accept a GL5 or SAE75W90 gear oil, we recommend and sell Silkolene SYN5 75W90 gear oil. We use Silkolene in all our own QUAIFE racing transmissions.
