Quick question.

MY FSM says the front diff requires 80W-90 while the owners manual says it requires 75W-140.

Which is correct?

2005 Limited with 3.7, Auto and Selec-Trac (if any of that makes a difference).

I currently run 75W-140 in both the front and the rear since that is what the manual recommends if you tow, which I do.

I'm just curious as to why the discrepetency between the FSM and owners manual. Especially one that different.

Another question is what was the factory fill in those two?
