Default Diff Fluid

When I was researching what diff fluid to use when I change mine out on the tech day, I saw a lot of information that using the Amsoil 75w110 was a great diff fluid to use. Now I can't find any of the information and everything I've seen says 75w90. I'm just wondering if what I purchased is ok to use. I'm really not savvy when it comes to this so any help/info would be great. Thanks.

Gavin

Whatever you decide be sure you use LSD.

When it was time for me to do it all i saw was 75w-90 so thats what I used, and be sure you have a 24mm socket AND a 23 mm wrench or socket.

Make certain you can loosen the fill plug before you drain the diff.

if you beat on the car 75w140 is really good, if not then 75w90 or 110 also work really well.
