I hope you're not running an air locker. I learned the hard way at Tellico when I put high quality synthetic Valvoline gear lube in when I installed the air locker. When the solenoid releases, it blows some of the fluid out of the solenoid releasing it to the air. Needless to say, at $8/qt for synthetic, I ain't usin' it no mo'! Kind of expensive to toss up on the hood of my truck!  I figure if I am going to smell gear lube, it better be the lower cost stuff!

I wish! I use standard oil in the diffs anyway because I already learned the expense lesson there when driving through water. I just change it often. If the Amoil works well in the transmission I'll leave it there for a long time. I have Redline in the Transfer case and it's fine, but the Xterra didn't at all like the Redline MT-90 in the transmission...that's the only reason I drained it. Actually, the rear diff. didn't like the Redline either so I used that and some water play as my excuse to drain it out awhile back.
