Differential oil... what do you use?
I wanted Silkolene Boa 90 LS but it's impossible to get stateside.

Redline 75W-90 is very popular. With my carbonetics LSD I'm currently running Motul 90PA.

Amsoil 75w90
If you are over 25k then I suggest you change it. Remember, Remove the upper plug (fill) before you remove the lower plug (drain). If for some reason you drain it and can't remove the fill plug then you are up a sh*t creek!

I think I'm going to go with Motul or Amsoil. I've had great experience with Motul brake fluid and I really don't care for mobile1 products ever since I found out their synthetic oil is a sham. I've never used an Amsoil product. I'm interested to give it a shot but maybe further down the road.
