2001 limited slip differential oil

[vanuatoo]

A friend of mine has 2001 pathy and he wants to change the rear diff fluid.

Owners Manual says to request recommended oil from the Dealer.

 

Which oil should be used for rear limited slip differential gear oil change?

I would use Mobil 1 LS 75W-90. You'll need 3 quarts. Be aware that the fill and drain plugs are 13mm, a bit larger than 1/2" (12.7mm). Nonetheless, try a 1/2" drive breaker bar with a short extension on it to remove the fill and drain plugs. Always remove the fill plug first! The torque spec for both plugs is 43 - 87 ft-lbs.

Any good name brand that says LIMITED SLIP right on the bottle and is 75w90 will do the job.
