Default R & D Gearbox and front diff oils?

OK, what oils do people use in the R & D 6 sp dogbox, and for the front R&D 7" diff, Anyone know what is the best oils suitable for the gear box? mine's due for a change and i need to
start looking
I use redline Shockproof heavy synth oil in the 5spd Quaife box, but find this a bit thick as it sends a lot out through the breather, and for the drop off section i use Fuchs Titan syth oil

What do you recommend?


cheers..................Ken

In my R&D gearbox i use Mobilube LHC LS. http://www.autokreso.hr/ulja/downloa...S%2075W-90.pdf
Might tryout Castrol SAF-XJ since i have it lying around. http://www.ge39.com/files/SAF_XO_SAF_XJ_B1174_96.pdf
Both are LS, limited slip which you cant use in a synchro gearbox, "to slippery".
