What gear oil should be used in rear end?
I tried searching for this one but couldn't find anything on it; what type of gear oil should be used in the rear end of an 85 Supra P-Type? Just want to make sure I get the correct oil.
1997 Ford Thunderbird V8; MAC Cold Air Intake, Ford Racing Intake Manifold, Flowmaster Exhaust, Tokico Rear Shocks, Moog LCA's, balljoints, tie rods. Future Mods: 70mm Plenum and Throttle Body, Mustang GT MAF, Jet Power Programmer, J-Mod, 3.90 gears.
1987 Toyota MR2; Bone stock, 5 speed, broken speedometer sub assembly, selling because parts are even harder to find then the Supra.

its been a while, but I recall using 90 weight.... BUT the big green book also mentioned using a friction modifier.
my local Toyota parts mgr knew what I was seeking and sent me to a Ford dealer to buy the additive.

Thanks everyone. I used Valvoline Full Synthetic (for use with LSD).

Motorcraft Gear lube
One one site a performance specialist recommended, using the Motor Craft lube and using the Ford additive,, He says it is a great combo and works well with the LSD, I have found like wise results. Oddly even at my Ford dealer the qts of lube were as cheap as 40wt oil I brought that day at Auto Palace.
