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

LSD oil (Castrol LSX85W-140) is what ARB put in mine.

Actually- Correction to mine...
ARB told me the oil recomendations.
Repco thought they needed ATF
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.
