I don't believe you'll need the friction modifier.
I drained and fill the diffs in both my 94 and 2000 with AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR 75W-140 100% Synthetic Gear Lube. This lube has friction modifiers included. They both are driving great.

About to do the Amsoil switch as well. I’ll try without the additional Amsoil slip lock and see how it goes. Thx
you may or may not need the slip lock - it comes wiht additive in it, but sometimes it's not enough (e.g., on a c5 z06 it's enough, on a c6 z06 it isn't enough).
i always get paranoid about it when I use the Amsoil versus OEM so I buy it and put in a squeeze or two anyways, but generally I try to use the OEM if it's still available because they tell you if it needs modifier or not and how much so you arn't guessing and have better piece of mind.
the way they present it is misleading - it's not telling you to add the Mopar additive, it's saying the OEM fill recommendation is the 1.8L of OEM fluid + OEM friction modifier
As someone who has taken Amsoil to court over
damage from their ******** products ill give you a
little insight here. They phrase it like that so when
you present your evidence to the judge/arbitrator
they can come back with "if you read the fine print
Amsoil clearly states that you should only use
manufacturer recommended products. If the motor
in Bonks jeep blew up because of our product, (and
despite our website "clearly stating we offer a
12,000 mile oil change guarantee,") it was solely
because he drove over the 3m/3k interval as stated
by the maker of the motor..."
The Amway/Pyramid Schemers here will tell you all kinds
of different, but personally i would never trust an Amsoil
product ever again.
Sounds like you trusted their drive a bajillion miles claim w/o an oil change claim?
I've been using Amsoil for ~15yrs because I have 18 cars and I can buy all the oil weights I need from 1 vendor and have never had 1 issue, but I would never trust their mileage claims.
Yes, when i was a teenager i did not know how to
change my oil, and with my contract job i was averaging
about 130,000 miles a year. Literally going to JiffyLube
once a week (or more.) i switched to Amshit because
i was stupid and trusted their advertising.
But heres the thing - its not about my trusting them, its
about the shittyness of their predatory business model.
Had they honored their claim... if they honored every claim
like a decent company should, they could not afford to
stay in business. Instead theyve built a business model
where they offer a mediocre product at best, and then
attack the customers that call them out on it. Its not that
the company is "wrong" - you the customer are too stupid,
too naive, too proud, too poor, or too indoctrinated to rise
up to what the company is claiming.
They are a Tier2 oil at best, im assuming their gear and other
oils are the same. But they get their followers to flood the
market with claims like "i used it for 18 years because i have
15 cars and never had an issue..." betting because they have
never actually driven 30,000 miles on their crap.
You love it, you use it, fine by me, but then they bankrupted me
i promised them i would never allow their gaslighting go by me
without commenting, so here i am...
