don't use the shockproof gear oil. It is extremely thick, and leaves a heavy residue. Once you use it once you have to stick with it unless you feel like tearing apart your differential. It's mean't for some very specific aplications (striaght cut gear transmissions for example) Just the 75W90 will work great.

Yep, all the "Shockproof" stuff from Redline is really formulated for racing use, and they should not be used for street vehicles.

Call Redline tech support for more info...
