I am going to do a fluid change in my Jar rear soon, I am going with the Moroso climbing oil and 8 ozs of Amalie additive, what do you think?
Do you fill it until it runs out of the hole, is this the proper FULL level?
As far as my 4 speed Toploader Tranny goes, I want to do that to. What is the capacity and is this MT 90 a synthetic?
I know I was told NO synthetic in the rear, but what about the tranny?
Thanks...Dave

That is the combo I use. Fill it until it runs out. Add the additive first.

Do you use the Amalie in the rear too?
How much fluid does the 4 speed toploader hold, is that MT 90 a synthetic? I would like to stick with what is in the tranny, but I have no idea what type of fluid is in there presently. What does "MT" stand for?

Amalie makes automatic & manual transmission fluid and it also makes a limited slip additive -- do not confuse the two. If you find that your Jag LSD "clicks" around corners, switch away from Amalie and try two tubes of the GM LSD Additive and it will often go away.
