Default Rear end gear oil

What type of gear oil should I use? I have a 2wd 96 Dakota 5.2l (8.25") with 4.10 gears and a mopar sure grip. I would like to use synthetic.

I believe it is 85W 90. As for brand, it depends on your preference. You will need to add in the LSD additive.

I've been running Mobil Synthetic 75-90 in mine for a few years.
