75W-90 Gear oil. If you are towing a lot then 75W-140 in the rear diff..

Or are you asking for a specific brand? If so I have been using PX3 synthetic and it works well. quieted my rear diff down a bit. And it's safe for LSD or non LSD

I've had good luck with Castrol Syntec, but who am I. Agreed on the weights.
