With the tow package the recommended oil is 75W-140 anyways, so you should have no worries, even though you don't tow.

So I bought the 75W-140 Royal Purple, and it says it already contains a limited slip additive. Well, my front is not anti slip, is that going to be bad to put in there?

Hey buddy, Superior and David @ northridge both told me to run standard GL5 80-90 weight during break in. Then I can go to synthetic. You probably know that already, but I was not 100% sure myself. I didn't want your gears to bbq!!!

Yeah , first 500m on new gears, then you can change to whatever. Hope your kit goes on smooth Sunday!

Anyone know the torque spec for the front D30 diff cover bolts on a JK? My web search says 30 ft lbs.
