I use Castrol Hypoy C 80/90
What kind of oil should I use? Can I use synthetic? Do I need friction additive/modifier?
A quality petroleum/mineral based oil works best in the Truetrac units. We do not recommend synthetic oil. Friction additive/modifier is not required.

after looking at their websire FAQ's what is the reason for this?
Can I use the stock bearings?
In most cases the Truetrac units work with the factory (stock) bearings. The exceptions are: 10 bolt 8.5\8.6 GM axles, the “Performance” Dana 35 & 44 and GM12 bolt with 35 spline axles. No other “special” setup is required.

heres some pics of a tru trac just after a few months running, nothing major just glad i checked before reinstalling it 
i posted these pics for the simple fact if anyone runs one then does a gear swap they need to check these parts, these parts arent your normal wear parts, these are the heart of the tru trac, luckly i checked it out before reinstalling it..
didnt have any issues to begin with just wanted different gears, i ran this tru trac just a few months i wont elaborate what i think was failure even though i have a good notion as to what happened. it is under warranty, thanks to Rons machine, BUT what i am getting at is the first question i was asked was: what oil am i running was it synthetic..
