Going to replace tranny/diff fluid this weekend..
Is this the LE1605 that I need for the differential? And I'm guessing i'll need just slightly more than 1 bottle to fill it up? I used Amsoil the last time.
ALso, what do you guys use for the tranny? I used the Friction Modified Synchromesh from GM last time. ANy better fluids out there for the tranny?
Thanks!

I've never personally used LE before so I can't comment there but if it's GL5 for hypoid gears and 75W-90/110/140 then its fine for your diff. GL4 for the tranny. You could also consider Honda MTFIII from the dealer for your tranny.

LE-1605 is NOT a GL-5 lubricant. Not anymore. Old formulation was GL-5 but it's not the same. Changed this year I think.
Anyway there's an extensive, fairly contentious, argumentative thread running with all the information I won't repeat since we don't need 3 or 4 threads on LE-1605. Grab a coffee or beer and start reading. Bottom line remains the same. LE-1605 is not a GL-5 lubricant.
