If you have an Auburn differential, regular gear oil is what you want. Synthetic is too slippery:
From Auburn's site...
2.) What kind of oil should be used with an Auburn differential?
It is important when installing Auburn differentials that a high quality, non-synthetic 80w90 GL-5 oil, treated with GM or Ford limited-slip additive (also known as friction modifier) be used. Three ounces of additive will treat one quart of oil.
I have an Eaton in my Moser 12 bolt. They also require non-synthetic conventional gear oil.
