I know there are threads with folks asking about gear oil vs. SUDT² and axle lube.
Picked up the goods to do the 50 hour service in my L today. Told the parts dude what I was doing. He pulled it all from the shelf and brought it to the counter. I asked about the 15w40 oil. He said that it's what is generally recommended for our climate. We rarely see below 10°f and it fits the spec from K (14°f min for the 15w). Also, for the front axle, he said the gear oil was preferred over the SUTD² for those that use 4wd a lot in our area.
Just passing on the advice from an established Mid-Atlantic dealer.
