Rear Axle - 8 1/4 and 9 1/4
Multi-purpose, hypoid gear lubricant should be used for rear axles with a standard differential. The lubricant should have a MIL-L-2105C and API GL 5 quality specifications.Trac-Lok differentials require the addition of 5 oz. of friction modifier to the axle lubricant after service. The 8 1/4 axle lubricant capacity is 2.22 L (4.7 pts.) total, including the friction modifier, if necessary. The 9 1/4 axle lubricant capacity is 2.32 L (4.9 pts.) total, including friction modifier, if necessary.
NOTE: If the rear axle is submerged in water, the lubricant must be replaced immediately. Avoid the possibility of premature axle failure resulting from water contamination of the lubricant.
