The Penrite Limsip? 85-140 stuff is suitable for LSD's. I use it also, heaps quieter.
Penrite 10/10ths has been replaced by the Penrite SIN range I was told just the other week.

Any diff oil that is for High Pressure and suitable for LSD is fine. It will say this on the container.

The normal default would be Valvoline LS90.

i used castrol(?) VMX80/90 in both my gearbox and diff.

was good for the gearbox (much quieter than what WAS in it), but for the diff it sucked.

i'll be using the blue shit robo86 used in his, its the bomb diggity

Fill diff until it spills out of the fill hole.

Yes there are 2 holes.
