I know Chrysler calls for their Mopar Trans. Fluid, but has anyone ever tried a Synthetic Gear Oil? If I do use Synthetic Gear Oil would I need to use a Friction modifier?

Yes!!!! Some of the high end synthetic gear lubes already have the additive in them but most do not. I am sure that you go the redlines web site you will see a gear oil that they sell that has the addative already in it. Becareful because they offer several gear oil products and not all of their gear oil has the additive.

I think Mobil 1 states on the bottle that it is suitable for use in limited slip differentials so I would assume it has the additive included.

i use redline 75w90 it has the friction modifier in it .also it's a lot easier to change if you use a suction gun - don't have to remove the cover and much less messy ..

I use a commercial type of gear oil called Lubrication Engineers #607. It does not come with the LS additive. They believe that each auto mfg makes a slightly different additive and you should use the one that was made for their rear ends and not a general purpose type of additive. The LE #607 made my rear end VERY quiet. I also put a Mag-Hytec rear end cover on it. I now holds 4 quarts of gear oil. Mag-Hytec also sells the LE #607 gear oil. Their # is 1-818-786-8325
