Differential Fluid Question?
I just had an eaton installed and asked what type of fluid he used and he replied some chinese stuff and the same with the friction modifier. Should i trust his judgement or just wait 500 miles and change it with the gm fluid and modifier, or should i do it now?
Can i buy the fluid at any local dealership or can i get it at O'Reiley?

Depends. Sometimes I use the Motorcraft stuf because ford includes it with their gears. I will usually just grab either Pennzoil or Valvoline. The mostly all meet the same specs, but I usually stay away from the generics. You should be able to get a modifier at an O'reilly's. You have to use it though,some bottles of fluid will say it is in there or that htey are limited slip approved, but add it anyway.

I used castrol Hypoy or something like that..
the oil bottles come with a spout to get it in there..
the fill hole is on the passenger side of the pumpkin..near the drive shaft U-joints.
