When I had mine changed this spring I had the GL-5 put back in nothing fancy. Can't afford to put anything fancy in it yet. I believe my transfer case has autotrax even though its not an autotrax case(was told it wont hurt it by the dealer).

Don't bother with synthetic crap... I worked for Dana for years in our test lab. How many failures have I seen caused by poor oil? NONE. Now, if the oil is contaminated, its a different story. I just did mine and put regular old 85W90 back in, just the Napa stuff, but I don't ever worry about it. Its a little different if you have a LSD, because you need a FM, but without one it doesn't matter.
