synthetic 75w-90 or use the 140wt for LSD units.
differential? Stopped by Pep Boys last night to pick up Red Line injector juice and bought 2 bottles Castrol Hypoy C 80W-90 gear oil.
Wanted an opinion on what is recommended or others use.
Thank you

Pep Boys sucks.... Not that it adds anything to the discussion
If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

I miss my e34
castrol hypoy c is unsuitable for this application, as, as regal said, it calls for a synthetic oil. the 80w numbers up front usually only come with conventional gear oils, not synthetics. depending on what the diff tag says, you need a 75w90 or 75w140. mine is quite happy on royal purple 75w140 with a tube of LSD additive thrown in so i wouldn't have to do it twice. it should cost you between 8-14$ per bottle for suitable stuff, and you need two bottles.
Believe it states so in the manual. My indy has changed it for me twice. I think he used redline.

synthetic is a given, the rear gears are so small that they would literally wear out in under 100k with reg lube.
