Royal Purple ATF+4 in the t-case, 75-90 in the diffs. It has a limited slip additive mixed in, so no need to add any.

You don't need any type of additive in an AAM because there aren't any clutches. I used Red Line last time, and put Mopar ATF+4 in the transfer case.

Amsoil in the diffs. No where in my FSM does it call for an additive in the rear diff., it is a gear type LSD not a clutch type.
