Personally I use AMSOIL and have in all my vehicles for years. Never has let me down and the company has been around forever. Prices are reasonable and quality is exceptional, and NO I am not a distributor lol.

I was gonna use Amsoil but I called the folks at eaton and they said do not use a synthetic gear oil with a Detroit trutrac so I went with Lucas. Another fine product

How did you accomplish this? I was just barely able to get a quart into the front dif. before it started pouring out of the TeraFlex fill hole (yes the Jeep was on a level surface)? Same with the rear, just barely 2 quarts (using bottom fill hole, not the H.P. fill hole).
