Regular Valvoline 75-90 weight. Like recomended. You are not supposed to use synthetic or any additive (Its is not a LSD therefore you do not need it) In fact if you do use synthetic, it will void the warrenty.
You can go to a heavier weight (some say it quiets the locker mechanism down) but I kinda like the clunking LOL.

Look at the Eaton's install instuctions on the Detroit Locker. They Specifically tell you NOT to use Synthetic oil.

Thats just a post on a forum. Heres the owners manual for an Eaton Detroit Locker, you tell me where it says the warrenty will be void of you use synthetic.

I have had two lockers in the past and I can not ever remember there being any stipulation in the owners manual. I could understand in an Eaton LSD where theres friction involved between the clutch packs, but for a locker... idunno, i couldnt see it being an issue.
