I run basic 90 wt. If you have an LSD then include an LSD additive.

I was in a pinch so I bought 75-90 Mobil 1 with LSD additive. I had to replace the rear diff spline seal. I will say it is much quieter now with the new fluid.

If you're worried about wear at all, you can always draw a sample after a bit of wear has occurred after the change and have it analyzed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
