I planned on using my leftover Amsoil 75w110 in my Sterling rear axle. It has a Detroit locker in it.
They do not want Synthetic oil in there. Why?
--------------------------------------------------------------
What kind of oil should I use? Can I use synthetic? Do I need friction additive/modifier?
A quality petroleum/mineral based oil works best in the Detroit Locker units. We do not recommend synthetic oil. Friction additive/modifier is not required.
