He said most Service people get lazy and don’t want to do it. He used 80-90 weight gear lub. Good preventative maintenance. I had not heard about this and none of my neighbors had ever heard about doing this. He also put a Mopar additive in with the lub. Cost was $80.00.
EZ-GO RXV Electric has a 5 year recommended interval for differential oil change. I’ve used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90 oil. There are helpful videos for DIY on YouTube.
