Default What gear oil for a 2002 WS6?

I'm about to do a differential oil change in my 10 bolt and I want to make sure I'm using the correct oil. Some say it depends on if it's a Torsion or Auburn..80/90 or a synthetic??

wrong section here unless we are now to put gear oil in our motors.

i used synthetic with an eaton posi once,, totally glazed up the clutch plates,, would grind whenever i would turn a corner,,, had to have a rebuild on the posi and then used regular oil,, cant remember the numbers though,,

If its your stock I would suggest to use 75/140 Redline.
