trust me, I’ve been searching the forums so please don’t tell me about using the search to find a post you saw one time. So it’s clear the favorite gear oils are amsoil severe gear and redline. Got it. Hard to find locally but I’ll order. But the weights? I have 4.10s in my 2500 and the manual recommends 75w95 but it seems most recommend 75w140 for the rear? Why would you want a different weight for the rear when they’re the same ratio? Even if the answer is “because science” that’s fine, I just don’t want to buy the wrong weight. Also, last thing. It seems the amount of oil differs quite a bit. I know there’s a fill line on the back plate. The amount to this line I’ve gathered is anywhere between 2.5 and 5 quarts for the rear. If both front and rear were to take the same weight it could save some headache and I’d just buy 3 gallons or something but that’s not the case. Many on here recommend different weights. Someone please spell this out very clearly for me, I’m a Marine I need very clear instructions lol. I’ve watched the YouTube videos and they vary or leave details out.
I’m leaning towards 3 quarts of redline 75w95 for the front and 4 quarts of redline 75w140 for the rear. If anyone thinks I’m dead wrong or need this or that tweak, by all means please let me know, thanks
