https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... Like mentioned GKN Torsen style diff not particular about oil, just my cents change it regular as parts are scarce apart from bearings but not cheap to rebuild so look after what you got they get hot near the exhaust and in the hot tub tunnel so oil degrades quicker than you think , I use Dexron 3 branded synthetic in T5 trans/g box
