Seen it, how many rear ends are you going to go through on your Ranger? My F-350 has 255K and has the factory rear end, ring and pinion, spider gears, bearings they all look good, not saying they weren't replaced, but judging from what I've seen working on a variety of stuff I beleive they haven't been.
I'm still saying it's not worth it.

I mean its the same one. I only got 60,000 miles so the damn thing better not break for a long time. But im just a fan of doing things right the first time and thats all. I could just go with regular motorcraft stuff and motorcraft friction modifier but just thought it would be cool to go royal purple or amsoil. Even though they are more expensive, if it was doing a better job than I might consider it worth my money you know.

How can the fluid temp staying the same mean it's not better? That's only one measurement of quality.
I run it in my truck. Does it make a difference? I am unsure. I do know that my truck pulls more than most do on this site, and at 150k, with 40k on the oil, everything is running great. I think I might have a U joint or CV axle going, though. It's only 2 quarts or so, so the price shouldn't sway you that much.

I didn't say that lowered it's quality...I don't doubt it's quality at all. I used to tow all the time (up to about 3500 lbs). It had the original oil at 40K. I just checked the temps after towing 20 miles because I was curious. I then switch to Amsoil, same haul, same temps, Same fuel economy, it's not like the super lube that freed up my truck and was allowing it to get better mileage. I pulled the cover to add a chrome one and just put normal lube in.
I'm just observing that it's not really necessary to spend extra money on the syn gear lube if it's not needed. And since the poster asked if anyone noticed a difference, I told him what I felt.

does it really get all the fluid out that way tho? I just didnt know if having some old left over in there will matter when your changing brands and the weight willbe different being full syn?
