So i picked up a 2006 f250 with 240,000 miles (6.0 powerstroke with 5-speed auto) and i have no maintenence records for the truck. I'm pretty confident the trans/axles/transfercase have not had their fluids changed recently so I will be looking to do so in the near future. Just looking for recomendations on what fluids to use (brands and viscosity). The truck is basically a daily driver for my wife and will see some weekend towing during the summer months (20ft enclosed trailer with dirt bikes and gear). I have always heard redline pretty much makes the best gear lubes but really have no idea what to go with for ATF. Also, if anyone knows where to buy the fluids at a reasonable price please let me know.
Also wondering if it would be worth picking up a mag-hytec diff cover for the rear and if so would that change my fluid reccomendations?
