I’m going to change my gear oil in my 2020 f150 I just purchased I am considering going amsoil but is it worth it, or is an off the shelf gear oil equal? Which would you go with? Thanks everyone!
I was never convinced that Amsoil is any better to justify its high cost. I would use an off the shelf gear which meets the needs stated in your manual for your differential type.. I have mostly used Supertech or whatever was cheapest in the past for my Ford's 8.8 differential.I’m going to change my gear oil in my 2020 f150 I just purchased I am considering going amsoil but is it worth it, or is an off the shelf gear oil equal?

I couldn’t seem to find what you’re referring to on that site.Gear oil ... PRI QPL
This is a link to the PRI website. Under the Documents section, you'll find the QPL (Qualified Product List). Any lube on that list is licensed to the performance standard. They do a good job of updating the list; I believe it's done quarterly, so this link should be current as long as you don't...bobistheoilguy.com
Pick one from the above list. They all qualify to the same performance standard regardless of base stock.
The 8.8" is a pretty darn reliable and robust unit, so as long as you treat it well it should last you a very long time.
Amsoil is good to go. I recommend 75W-110I’m going to change my gear oil in my 2020 f150 I just purchased I am considering going amsoil but is it worth it, or is an off the shelf gear oil equal? Which would you go with? Thanks everyone!
