I use RP everything and love it. They started carrying some of the RP products at Pep Boys, but I think I had to go to a speed shop to get the gear oil.

Try a NAPA store. The one by me sells it by the bottle. But they are still expensive.

If you off-road much and submerge your diffs, use dino gear oil and change it often.

your transfer case? or your front and rear axle differentials? i'm not possitive about a d2 but on a d1 its a little under two quarts per axle and about 2.5 for the t-case... i think... i dont know i just fill them up till it runs out the fill plug...
