torque wrench settings?? to do what? tighten up the filler plug?
Also you might wanna make a list of what vehicle you have, year, model etc.. And what driving conditions you put the vehicle through!! |

Manual or ugh...auto?
manual trans contains the diff & gears in the same oil bath, auto doesn't. Redline lightweight shock proof for the manual trans (3.?? litres). Readline heavy duty shock proof for the rear diff (1.4 litres).

Gearbox/Front Diff = 75W90 or 80W90
Rear Diff = 80W90 Torque = snug it up, not overly tight or its to hard to remove again which you will find will be the case when you try to undo it the first time I put a bit of thread tape on my plugs so that they undo easier

Rear Diff 0.8L :
Castrol SAF-XA Expensive but one of the better synthetic oils. ~$30/L or try a cheaper old school mineral oil: Castrol LSX85W/140 ~$27/4L Use some locking goo on the diff plugs and do not over tighten. Try Loctite 567 or Threebond 1105. Tighten to 49 N·m (5.0 kgf-m, 36.2 ft-lb) For the gearbox 3.7L Redline NS 75W90. This is designed for synchro gearboxes. Use a new washer everytime. Tighten to 44 N·m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb) Disclosure: Opinions on oil are like arseholes, everyone has one...
