LMFAO all the answers hu No Yoda here! Either fluid is good the Yamalube is a semi synthetic or as you probably know AMS oil is a full synthetic. As far as you brake issue goes I have a feeling you have two issues that go hand in hand! Let us know what you find!

ohhh no.. do you think the brakes being stuck on caused so much pressure on the diff that it blew out a seal or something, i didnt have time to look at it today,

well good news, the diff skid plate was so bashed in that it loosened the diff drain plug so fixed that all up today, but the caliper is not retracting on its own after the brake is applied, so im going to put new seals in the piston and bleed out the lines and see how that works...
