I asked Quaife when I did mine; it wasn't anything special (they're not friction plates or anything that requires special oil).

But I'd check for other opinions first - I could've done it wrong

I use EP80w/90 in the Quaife in the back of my Bowler - did the same on the French-spec Bowler racer too. As it contains worm gears I'd suggest an EP rated gear oil but check with an expert as others posters have suggested...

The oil is important for the crownwheel and pinion...

The Quaife LSD does not require any special oils.

Quaife said:

The Ford Sierra 7" rear Quaife ATB differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheelspin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design which retains the standard oil lubrication

thanks to everyone that replied, ep80/90 did the trick and it ran the day on the dyno, no problems.
