Axle gears are not picky. It really shouldn't matter whether you go synthetic or not. I use regular 80-90 gear oil that they sell at advance. It's cheap and works. Get yourself a wire brush for a drill (if you have a drill) and use that to remove old gasket if it's sticking. It's a lifesaver.

According to most aftermarket gear companies you should only run a NON Synthetic. I have seen countless diffs come to Currie with burnt gears due to the use of syn. Infact if a synthetic is used in any Currie rear the warranty is void because the gear companies will not warranty them for us. We recomend 85-140W Non Syn in everything that leaves our shop.

Instead of a wire brush on a drill I have some scotchbrite stuff on a disc that works with my die grinder and it is easier to control. Put something in to cover the gears while doing the differentials so as to keep the gasket debris from getting in with the gears.
