Diff grease?

What are you guy's putting in your diffs? I just got an adjustable alloy diff and am unsure if I use some sort of thick oil or use regular automotive grease. Thanks in advance.

RE: Diff grease?

normal good quality auto grease will do - dont pack it just apply a good amount around the gears,silicone oil is used in viscose diffs to adjust the locking action - normal grease is used on adjustable/self locking diffs

Valvoline assembly grease works well and is a cheap alternative to more expensive brands.

RE: Diff grease?

I used the following Lucas "Red & Tacky" Grease in my new FG 8485 LST diff. It was at Advance Auto for $5 and I have enough to do a hundred diff assemblies (or more)

I also did NOT pack in extra grease. I just covered the bevel gears well before assembly.
