Diff oil wt

[DreamState]

Can't believe I'm having trouble finding this info, but does anyone know the stock fluid weight of the rear diff oil in an MT v3? Also the front weight if it different? Thanks for the info.

Try 3000 front and 5000 for rear.u don't want anything to heavy it will cause diff cup problems or go 5000 all around.

Thanks. Looking for the stock weight so I can choose what I want from there. I don't see even a locked rear diff causing cup problems with lighter wheels and tires installed.

Couldn't find the answer anywhere so I got some 10k to put in and try.

i was read in another topic,for 3000 rear and 2000 front.
what is better?

I don't know yet. I went for the thicker fluid (10k) because I run on a lot of loose surface. But for all I know 10k might be stock, but I doubt it.

The 10k seems to work good for me. The best I can tell is that it's a little thicker than what comes stock. I like it.

The stock in the MT will not have a weight because its not a diff oil it is some kinda of grease they use for stock. If you open the diffs you will find the grease on the inside at its hard as hell to clean off because its a grease. The diff oil that you buy to replace even though they come in different thickness you can still tell that it is oil.

I run 10K in the rear and 5K in the front works great on hard packed surface.

What was in mine was thin enough to spill out over night when the diff that I had taken apart fell over.
