M/T will do better with GL-4 gear oil, t-case will work on pretty much anything:

GL-5 in the diffs, hypoid oil is basically GL-5 oil, hypoid refers to a helical cut gear like the ring and pinion. For clutch type limited slip, you can add a limited slip diff. friction additive if you get some chatter with regular GL-5 gear oil.
