    Thank you! I appreciate the quick response. I really didn't believe the diff shared it's 75W-90 gear oil supply with a common passage to the actuator side, but didn't want to assume so thought I'd ask here. Since it's a sliding fork and collar on the actuator side, it makes sense that it's grease that is specified for lubrication. It's fairly obvious the seal and bolts holding everything on mine have never been disturbed. I did my due-diligence searching for something about this label or at least an explanation and found nothing really: So I'm figuring it's one of those "for life" specs. A least for me, I look at it and I know I'm not going to go exploring unless it's leaking.
