    Pick your favorite brand, and choose a weight that best suits your needs. If you're just a daily occasional wheeler in a warm environment, a little lighter is fine. If you tow often or have a lot of weight in the bed, then a little heavier is ok.

    I run Mobil 1 full syn 75w90 for whatever it's worth.

    Best :notsure: don't know. Just pick one and change it on schedule.

    I used Lucas 80w-90 in the rear diff until I regeared.

    ECGS recommends Lucas 75w-140 so that's what I use now.
