Giving up and asking for some advise from anyone on here who may know about fluids.
2013 Ram 1500 4x4 65,000 miles
Canadian truck built in Michigan recently imported to US
I want to change fluids
Front differential
Rear differential
Transfer case ** Not sure if i have BW44-44
Problem i am having is finding a lot of different information on the fluids the truck needs.
I called the dealership and he recommended 75-90 non GL5 for the front and rear and didn't sound confident and he looked it up using my vin.
Called another dealership and he recommended something totally different and they weren't alias part #'s
i have only had the truck about a month.
Just wondering if anyone knows the best fluids for this truck.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Have looked up Valvoline, royal purple, AMS oil but they don't really specify GL5 rating.

Front 75W-85 have read this is way better than 75W-90 but some recommend 75W-90 vs the 85
Rear 75W-140 some people say use 75W-90 but that is for 2500/3500 GL5 or Not
Transfer case ? Not sure if i have BW44-44
