I like 'whatever is on sale' for a good price when it comes to picking out my gear oil.

It's awfully tough to beat a good dino oil for that situation.

AUBURN
 
What kind of oil and additive should be used with an Auburn Performance Differential? It is important when installing an Auburn High Performance, Pro Series or ECTED® LOCKER that a high quality non-synthetic 80W90 GL-5 gear oil be used. Treat the oil with Auburn Gear, GM or Ford friction additive.

Three ounces of additive treats one quart of oil.

Friction additive part numbers:
Auburn Gear: 504102
GM:1052358                                                                                             Ford: C8A219B546A

No whales were harmed in the making of this additive?

It's sperm whale oil, so I guess it depends on the whale's outlook while extracting said sperm.
