Default Gearbox and Diff Oil

Heyas,

I have done some searching around for some Diff and Gearbox oil. I'm doing my 100k service and i'm pretty much replacing every liquid on the car, plus lots of other things.

I've red that the Redline Lightweight Shockproof can gunk up after a while, plus it's expensive, so i don't really want to go down this path.

Can someone please recommend some quality gearbox and diff oil, for a modified MY01 (not tracked or raced, bit of a squirt every now and then) and where I can get it?

I want my geabox and diff to be in lube harmony.

Cheers,

Richard

for standard wrx diffs, use off the shelf diff oil. if you have sure track or true lsd's then look at the heavier/more expensive oils. you will more then likely find your diff is only a vlsd or an open centre anyhow, no point on feeding it anything other then 80w-90 or so.
