Thumbs up Diff and Gearbox Oil for track work

Evening ladies and gentry.

I know there is currently a thread going about diff oil but mine is a bit more specific.

Ive got a replacement diff arriving on Saturday and obv i need some oil for this bad boy. Im going to be doing some track and drift work so i was wondering what you guys would recommend for that application?

Ive been looking at these for the diff:

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60159-gulf-com...-hypoid-ls.aspx << Think that might be wrong stuff but thought id ask.

And the gearbox:

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1055-amsoil-sy...5w-140-svo.aspx

Whats your thoughts? Im swaying towards a shed load of just Amsoil 75w-140 for everything or is that overkill? Should i just grab that for the diff and 75w-110 for the box?

Just use normal stuff. The fact that you are doing a track/drift day shouldn't make any odds. As long as it's fresh and all topped up no problems

Bump.

What is the correct weight for the gearbox oil? Or would 75w-whatever do the trick?

Cheers
