I am planning on using this gear oil in my diff tomorrow. Just wanted to see if anyone has used it. Lucas 80w-90 GL-5 gear oil. I know that is the requirement of our cars and I don't want to stray from the specified weight. Plus it says its for LSDs. I really wanted to go with a synthetic like Amsoil 80w-90 but it would take a week to get and I need to change my diff fluid like....yesterday.

You have got to be kidding me?
But anyway. I use Motul 300V and it works great. I'm going to be running the Mobil1 75-90 full synthetic at the next oil change and see how it goes. Here in europe they call it liquid gold for your gearbox (it's meant to be that good!), and it's also VERY expensive, so i figured i'd give it a shot!

I used the Mobil 1 Synthetic in my Cusco RS for a very short time (maybe a week). The two didn't get along at all. I ended up going back to the Castrol dino before going to full synthetic again (I've alternated between Motul Gear 300 75/140 and Motorcraft, both have worked great). The Mobil 1 made the diff pop and make unfriendly noises. Even the Castrol dino stuff worked better. Not sure how it behaves on other diffs though, my only experience was with my Cusco
