I haven't had much luck finding recommended fluid types for off roading types.
I was wondering if anyone has posted a the combinations of fluids they use for everything from engine oil to differentials?
I just might not be typing in the correct keywords in the forum search...

I would say the Motorcraft Dura blend for engine oil, for the Differentials you can't go wrong using Royal Purple.
 






Amsoil front to rear or castrol if you wanna go cheap
 






I use Wal-Mart synthetic (don't laugh- it's actually good stuff. Since they deal in such large quantities with their lube stations, they get a price break and since they don't want to have millions of unhappy customers, they use good synthetic. And I've seen the data to back it up.....) engine oil (5w30) and Red Line synthetic gear lube (70w140 rear and 80w90? in the front) and the transfer case has some kind of "good" ATF in it that the 4x4 repair shop put in it when they rebuilt the transfer case.
 






Mobil 1 Front & Rear Diffs. Mobil 1 in Transfer Case. Motorcraft oil for engine.
