Post Rear LSD Sealed?

Can anyone tell me if the rear diff on a uk my99 is a sealed unit,
i want to know what grade oil to use, i have castrol syntrax in the box, but not sure if the rear diff requires an LSD oil.

It is not a sealed unit!
Ask Town End Garage what to fill it with. www.townendgarage.co.uk
It takes about 1 litre max.

Bit of confusion here? The Final drive itself is not sealed - ie it has drain and fill plugs. Is not the LS unit sealed viscous type? In this case a non LS gear oil (eg Syntrax) is fine.
