differential oil type For the m20

What type and weight does everyone suggest for the differential oil type? Also I assume you will to the bottom of the top plug? The rear has multiple plugs.

Swat,

My M8 Lubrication Order shows that for temps -32 to 0F, use SAE 90.

For temps 0 to 32F, use 80 wt.

For temps 32F and above use 75 wt.

I use straight 80 in all of my diffs on the M8 & M20. I then added Archoil additive because Jay Leno says it's good. Made in the US & he uses it on all of his antique vehicles.

Here's the Amazon listing:

Hope this helps!
