Default Need advice on Diff. oil choices for RMM LSD (3.76)

You guys with LSD units, what differential oil would you suggest to use in connection with Torsen type LSD and what oil you wouldn't recommend for this application

I'm expecting my LSD arrive soon, i wanna make sure that lube department was taken care of properly. From what i know previous owner used Mobile 1 LS75-90 synthetic type , i'm not sure if i should continue using M1 oil or there are other (better?) options avalible

Your feedback is appreciated

The Mobile 1 LS75-90 synthetic type should be fine.

I'm sure there are more expensive fluids available.

I've always put Mobil1 75w90 in my Supra. It's readily available and should be fine.

Mobil, royal purple, redline, etc are all good. Just make sure its 75W90synthetic with no friction additives in the 3.76 torsen unit.
