What weight gear oil for LSD equipped rear diffs?
SO I recently pulled the trigger on a Quaife and am getting ready to install it, but am curious as to what weight fluid seems to work best for them.
Stock I believe is 75w85. I've had a few different answers as to what's ok to run but am curious as to what the masses are using. I'm either using AMSOIL or Redline. I've been weighing 75w140. Is that correct or am I looking at the wrong weight?

So according to their site, which I had confirmed through email from them, they recommend a hypoid 90 or 75w90. Amsoil Severe Gear it is then.
