Default Stock Differential Fluid

Does anyone know where I can get the differential fluid compatible with the stock LSD? I wanted to change it with something better than the original Nissan fluid. Also, how much would the fluid cost?

The differential requires about 1.5 quarts of 75w-90 GL-5 gear oil. Most people will recommend using a synthetic oil, if you're looking to get something 'better' than the OEM fill. Even the most expensive synthetics don't cost more than $10/quart, so for this application, I think going synthetic is a no-brainer. Mobil1, Amsoil, and Redline are a few brands to consider, but there are many more. You do not need to add any limited-slip additives to the oil, since the 'limited slip' action of the differential is performed by a fully sealed unit within the differential.
