he asked what they use...................in our experience of them, whatever's the cheapest at the time.....................!!!
you want a good quality 75w90 (as above) only needs changing every 2-3yrs dependant on mileage/use/etc.......

no probs, anytime...............we would normally use either Motul or Millers..........you'd be better off draining and starting from scratch to be honest if you don't know the original, most don't mix that well...........

Dont forget the good old Silkolene Syn5 75w-90.

Suitable for both gearbox and diffs.
