Hi,

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee KL with Active Drive I (AD1).

My rear differential module (RDM) has clutch packs that engage the rear drive, and I’m experiencing a strong binding effect — the whole car feels like it’s under tension, especially during turns.

I want to change the rear differential fluid, but I’m getting conflicting information from different workshops:

- one says to use regular Mopar 75W-90 gear oil
- another says to use Mopar limited slip differential oil
- another recommends standard gear oil + LSD friction modifier

I know the OEM fluid part number is 68227765AB (70W-80), but I’m not sure:

👉 Does this system require additional friction modifier?
👉 Is this fluid already LSD-compatible?
👉 Or should I use a different oil altogether?

What is the correct fluid specification for the RDM with clutch packs in this system?

Thanks in advance.
