2012 Jeep Liberty Sport Going to be changing the gear oil soon in the front and the rear. Are either of these differentials limited-slip or non-limited-slip? If they are non-limited-slip, can limited-slip oil be used? |

Both front and rear are open diffs. As for gear oil, not sure. But I think I've seen Troy or Tom mention using conventional Dino oil over synthetic. |

Can limited-slip oil be used with open differentials? LSD requires and additive on top of the normal oil. Open diffs don't need it and don't really see a benefit to it. |

The front differential requires a hex socket to remove the drain plug and a square socket to remove the fill plug. Does anyonne know what size hex & square sockets are needed? |

Square is a 1/2"...just use a ratchet with a 1/2" drive and exextension and you'll be fine. Can't recall specific size for allen key though. |
