Hey mate, im doing the front diff this weekend. I also did a search but i found what i was looking for......recomended 80W-90 in the front diff (no locker).
It did say what to use for the back but i cant remember......Youll have to have another go at searching. Put in difff+oil and it will be there somewhere. Goodluck

Yeah mate. I use 80w-90 in my g/box, transfer and front diff and 85w-140lsx oil in the rear diff. It is possible to fit an lsd out of a path finder into the front of a gq.
