I used Amsoil 75w140 synthetic for my diff.

I think that's one of the ones that Puddymod recommends for higher torque loads.

My Puddymod diff just shipped. My instructions came via email and state:

Use a good quality GL-5 Hypoid 75/140 gear oil in the rear. Use this oil in the rear for 500 miles then drain. Use Amsoil, Motul, Valvoline, or Mobil1 75/140 gear oil every 12K miles.

LE is also a good gear oil, guys have been using it since the car was new. They did reformulate about 10 years ago i think to the SAE110 Happy new year everyone, be safe and have fun

If you are looking for LED1605 which is an SAE110 fluid the best price I've ever seen was from Mag-Hytec, most other places want $40 a quart, this placed sells it for quite a bit less. Many dealers want to sell it in 5 gallon or case quantities.
