Can I use syntethic oil in my diffs?

I have a dumb question. but the other day I was up under my Ty and I was looking at the front diff and I didn't see a drain plug. I saw a bunch of bolts holding it together. do I pull the lowest of one of those? i did see the fill plug but no obvious drain plug.

Re: Diff. Oil

You can use synthetic if you want it is. Man made and resists heat and thermal breakdown better than conventional gear Lube!

The front differential does not have a drain plug. You will need to use a hand pump to remove the old fluid through the fill plug.

Re: Diff. Oil

what oil do people use? Mine probe needs a top up. Is it specifically diff oil or can I use engine oil?

Re: Diff. Oil

I use:
75w90 synthetic GL5 gear oil in both diffs.

Synthetic Dexron ATF in the transfer case.

Non-Synthetic Dexron ATF in the Transmission.

I thought that TC and tranny ATF should better be the same in case of busted seals/gaskets in between them. :roll:
