I got told by repco that 80w-90 will be fine for normal use, but if your getting the diffs hot by working them hard (sand etc) then use a 90w-140.

Im running 90w-140 in my front and rear lockers when they go in :cool:

Actually- Correction to mine...

ARB told me the oil recomendations.

Repco thought they needed ATF :roll:

But LSD oil isnt really needed is it?

LSD is the best oil as it has friction modifiers in it that help the seals (o-rings) to not wear out...however...what you have is good enough for now...any ep gear oil is whats required.
