Gear oil is a lubricant made specifically for transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials in automobiles, trucks, and other machinery. It has high viscosity and usually contains organosulfur compounds.
Should I use 75W90 or 75W140?
I think you’ve got your numbers backwards the 75W140 is the heavier (140 vs 90) and for more severe service. It is recommended only for the rear diff and only for heavy towing and continuous use. You shouldn’t go heavier than 75W90 in the front and for normal duty and occasional towing 75W90 is fine for the rear.
