Thanks for your remark. It was Redline 75W-90NS GL-5 gear oil.
There were some shavings on the drain plug but the oil was absurdly clean for 105k miles. However, I should note that about 100k of those miles were freeway miles in Southern California, he drives it about 300 miles a day or so for work. Never tows unless there's things in the truck bed, and has been off paved roads maybe twice.
The point I was making is that a lot of forum posts tend to be alarmist in nature, and other people are then struck with some type of paranoia about what is going on with their vehicles. As long as regular maintenance is done, there isn't any major issues to worry about and the factory requested intervals for work isn't "lax" by any means.
