    I've tried searching but for whatever reason I couldn't find an answer.

    What fluid have you guys liked in your 8.8? What about 30?

    I was told 70-140 synthetic for the 8.8, but synthetics are like 20 bucks a quart, regular was 5 bucks a quart. Am I ok with non synthetic?

    In axles that size, the quality of your fluid could potentially determine the lifespan of your ring and pinion. Especially the dana 30.

    Dirk should be able to hook you up with some good fluid for a lot less than that. Something like the special "shock load" amsoil gear oil might be good for your application.

    I use coastal 80w-90w gear oil from advance auto, 10 bucks for a gallon. There are too many reasons why I have to change my oil to buy expensive fluid.
