Re: Rear diff fluid
Just know that, to my knowledge, there is NO 75-90 gear oil out there that meets GM specs listed in the manual. GM also makes their fluid smell like grapes (I am NOT kidding) This is an easy way for them to tell when they drain the fluid if it is genuine GM fluid or not just by the smell test! The stuff is not cheap either..

Re: Rear diff fluid
I replaced my front diff fluid with 75-90. Should not be that hard to find and do. In fact the diffs in the H2 don't even need any special additives as they do not have LSD's.

Re: Rear diff fluid
Drained and refilled both diffs 3/27/05 at 29,795 miles with Mobile Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-90 and now have 86,624 miles on it and have no probs..... so far. Front diff does have slow leak and when I do the oil changes, I just top it off if required.

When my warranty is up and I change the fluid again, I will go with the Mobil BUT because even Mobil advises that there geral oil does not meet the GM specs, I am not risking a reason for Hummer to deny a warranty claim should I have a differential failure
