Manufacturer recommendations are designed for the typical user in a typical environment. A "one size fits all" recommendation. If one operates in Fairbanks, Alaska where the temperature may be -70F and frequently pulls a camper their needs are different than a typical driver in Houston, Texas.
Spent an evening perusing youtube for gear oil knowledge. Frankly I don't think many people know jack about gear oil. I found exactly one video that was helpful, it only had 7000 views in a year. People loved the video where the diff cover was clear and they could see the gear oil being thrown around. That had a million views.
Sorry I bothered this board with a gear oil question though. Geez. From now on I'll probably just consult with my owners manual - when it shows up. Or maybe try the Jeep forum where people actually try to help instead of insult.
