Last time I got oil I ordered some Amsoil syn gear oil too. Seems fine I guess. I'm no scheduled to open up my diff for a while, so I can't really tell you how well it did.

Oh and do not forget to add the limited slip additive, if you have the limited slip which I assume you do. I seem to recall a DIY for this.
