    I use redline 75w90. According to your profile, you have an 07. If you have a limited slip diff, it will be mechanical (05-08 had mech). Don't forget to add the LSD additive.

    I've been following east coast gear supply's recommendation of Lucas non synthetic 85w140. I just started using it and it's been fine but I am curious to see how the thicker oil does in the cold this winter.

    I believe it's every 30,000 miles... sooner for hard towing or chance of water getting in breather

    I do this with about a 30% mix of the thinner 75w as well. Works great so far
