Ford brand rear diff fluid.
It's Motorcraft 75w140 full synthetic. It's not critical to use only that brand.

I bought the MC 75w140 for the rear end at my Ford dealer as well as the friction modifier. Be sure to use the friction modifier if you have limited slip rear end.
If you're 4wd, the front you can use 75w90 or 80w90 synthetic.
If you're 4wd, the front you can use 75w90 or 80w90 synthetic.

I also have the True-Track in my 07 w/Mag-Hytec cover. I am currently running AMSOIL 75-140 Syn with no problems, but I think I will change it out and replace it with LUCUS 85W-140 non syn gear oil as recommended from Eaton/Detroit. You will need 5 qts with the new cover installed. Brings the level right in the middle of the dipstick.
I have the Detroit TrueTrac back there, so I don't use the additive.
If you have aftermarket gears, limited slip, or locker, follow the aftermarket manufacturer's recommendation.
The installer threw Royal Purple in there and it's been grinding for the past 6 months.
So the differential fuid comes as a synthetic straight from the factory?
