I'll be changing my LE-607 next week sometime, if people want to make donations I'll send it in. Otherwise, its not a big deal to me and I'm quite happy with it and will continue to use it for non-winter use.

Here's a thread with a post from Roadrage about LE-607 not having moly and not needing it:

I've been up in the air on this, but I think the bottom line is we need to weigh the credentials of our sources.

Road Rage seems to be an oil chemist and work for a company that does such things, he claims that everything in LE607 is much closer to the factory fill than Mobile 75w90 and that in extreme heat the mobile fluid cannot hold up like LE can.

Even though its not listed as GL-5 sae90, he says that it is exactly that and more (going along with the post above that says LE claims it exceeds those applications). I'd like to believe that hardtop guy and ricks did their research before than began selling it as well.

Bottom line, do you trust Road Rage? If so, he says it is the best diff fluid he's found for our cars.
