I recall seeing posts saying friction modifier is not necessary in our electronic lock differentials. I intent to swap my fluid and wanted to confirm to NOT use friction modifier in my rear end, correct? 25k miles with a mag-hytec cover.

Dealer swears manual calls for it.

I confirmed that my 2011 doesn't need friction modifier. I'd get confirmation on your 2013.

You will know as soon as you open the differential, friction modifier smells absolutely foul. If it doesn't smell like a rotting skunks carcass that has been dipped in sewage, slathered with deer **** then perfumed with Durian fruit it probably didn't have friction modifier and won't need more.

Forum consensus is that it is not required. The E-locker does not use Limited slip plates.

I cast my vote for B E N to be hired by Fox News!!!
