Since I’m gonna be crawling under my 2016 (3500 crew cab 6.7 srw) to do my fuel filters, and swap out a bad belt tensioner here in the next couple weeks. Figured since the truck has 36k on her and seen temps ranging from 100 in the summer to -20 in the winter it’s time to swap out the fluids once it’s warmed up a bit more around here, been reading on the net and YouTube videos, and getting a huge mixed bag of what oils to run in the rear and front axles, everything from 75w-90 royal purple, to amsoil 75w-90 severe gear, to Mopar 75w-90 and even 75w-85, and I’m guessing factory Mopar will work just fine (she’s made 36k on the moor factory oil [emoji2369]) but then comes in this curve ball, some swear by, and others scream “HELL NO” to “friction modifier”, so my head is spinning a mile a minute, what the hell do I put in this damn thing??? It has the snow prep package (aka anti-spin rear axle)
Truck does see pulling (snowmobile trailers in the winter, and a 700mile trip pulling an enclosed trailer in the summer down the interstate at speeds up to 80mph for 4-5hours one way)
How much oil does the rear diff hold? And the front?
Are the factory gaskets “reuseable” or should I buy new ones?
How much oil does the transfer case hold?
Anything else I’m missing here I should be doing also at 36k maintenance wise (I would look in the manual right now. But I’m at work, and my truck is at home in the driveway)... I need this truck to last me years (aka 10+, so rather spend a few bucks now to save $1000’s due to **** maintenance)
