Default redline Diff fulid

I'm changing the diff fulid soon, and I'm going to use redline for a change.

Is there a particular type?, or do i just get the standard one? I presume one bottle is enought for a change?.

p.s I might even use a tool and torque rating this time

The stuff recommended and used by others on here is the Amsoil stuff from opieoils (they have a discount on at the moment too).

I've just had mine replaced, its just under 1ltr capacity in the diff.

4.8l of oil is needed for a full oil change.

Diff Oil
Diff should be 75W90 GL-5

Gearbox Oil
Transmission 5W/80 GL-4
This is from the FAQ, but when I look on Opie Oils the GL-4 is rated at 75-90W for redline....

I want to change the diff and gearbox oils on the next service.

Its been done to death, but any recommendations?

Amsoil Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid MTF in box - still feels lovely, a noticeable improvement.

Had Amsoil 10w-30 put in the engine at service this morning because I was so impressed with above.

Also noticed this yesterday on a post about recalls.
