Okay, I did a search and I don't think there will be any problems, but here's the situation:
Its time for me to change the rear diff fluid in my Chrysler 8.25. No one had the non synthetic 75-90 fluid that it calls for so I picked up some Mobil One synthetic 75-90. Well, I started to install it but my father saw what I was doing (I have to do my work in his garage since I don't have one) and questioned whether it was a good idea to put synthetic fluid in it. I assured him that people do it all the time and it won't be an issue. Well he responded with "Yeah, but are you sure the two fluids are compatable? When you change out the fluid, you don't get all the old stuff out unless you pull the axles, etc."
I didn't have a good response, so I held off on doing it and thought I would ask around if it will be a problem or not. I'd rather not have to replace a perfectly good rearend.
So will it be a problem, are the two compatable?
TIA
