You can't get 9" diff oil anymore so your diff is pretty much useless now.
Send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you

Thanks.
The Ford book says Hypoid oil for the Viscous version, if it's plated type LSD you will probably have to run Castrol 373

The diff oil doesnt interact in any way whatsoever with the VC unit, so doesnt matter.

Just use whatever is recommended for the diff gears themselves
