Many of the GL-5 synthetics already contain their own version of the
friction modifier and don't require any additional modifier to be added.
Read the label.
I've used Mobil 1 Gear Oil in a Limited Slip for several years of hard use
without any additional modifier and it worked great.

Subject: DML: Limited slips and synthetic oil
| Hello Fellow DMLers.
|
| I know this has been covered in the past. I would like to get the most
| current opinions from the group. I am going to service the differential
on
| the Dak today. It's a 2000 4 x 4 with limited slip. I would like to use
| synthetic oil.
|
| Questions.
|
| Can I use the standard Mopar friction modifier with off the shelf
synthetic
| oil?
|
| Has anyone used the Mobil1 differential lubricant?
|
| What sealant should be used for the cover?
|
| Any thoughts on drilling and tapping the cover after it's off to
facilitate
| service in the future?
|
| Thanks all
