Limited slip differential oil

Which Limited slip differential oil should I use in my -02 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Should I use some lubricants added?

Many thanx for the answers.

Do you tow or off-road?

Do you have a limited Slip?

Mild street only use - 80w-90 or 75w-90 dino or synthetic

Tow / Heavy Duty - 75w-140 synthetic

Synthetics flow and lubricate better, run cooler and quieter.

Some synthetics do not require or already include limited slip additive.

Dino juice requires additive only if you have a limited slip.

Synthetics cost about 4 times as much as dino.

Do you have a build sheet or know how to check for limited slip?

Hi Billy Ray, This is from my build sheet on an '02 WJ. Is this limited slip rear end? DHAS Lock-Up Torque Converter, DHPS Selec-Trac Full Time 4WD System, DJJS Dana 30/186MM Front Axle, DMEP 3.73 Axle Ratio, DRKP Dana 44/226MM Rear Axle. I know I put in more lines than you may have needed. Thanks for your help and knowledge sharing in this newsgroup. D

It looks like you have a towing package which usually means you have limited slip. With the front wheels blocked, remove the parking brake and put the transmission in N. Jack up one rear tire just slightly off the ground. If you can spin it, you don't have limited slip.

HTH,

They all have locking torque converters now, it is part of the transmission SelecTrac is the transfer case also known as NV242 Dana30 is the front differential

3.73 is the ring and pinion radio (std on tow package) Dana44 (226mm) is actually the 44A (Aluminum) differential that is std in the tow package

There is no mention of Vari-Loc which is the type of limited slip that was available on that model. They are standard on QuadraDrive, option on some models.

Check your build sheet against mine below. As you will see here is no mention of Vari-Loc.
