3 quarts of Mobile 1 gear oil, synthetic, no additive needed, Tru trac has gears in it not clutches...
+1 on the no additive...no clutches in the tru trac = no need for limited slip additive
.....no add I'm in on but might also think about the $27 per quart GM synth too....
I thought with the truetrac you're not supposed to use synthetic, but then again that's why I asked. Thanx guyz!
Also is there a certain weight oil I'm supposed to use or just any mobile 1 synthetic gear will work?
GasGuzzler I wish I could afford that but I already had to borrow money from my Dad for the truetrac.
From what i've read on PT.net (and on this forum too... i think) you are not supposed to use synthetic.
Check out these posts, the last one is prob the best answer to your question:
