The 80 I recently picked up has ARB lockers front and rear, and I want to baseline all fluids.
According to the ARB manual, based on my climate and usage, I should run API MT-1 or SAEJ2360 140 weight full synthetic.
I've searched 'mud for hours and read a lot. It sounds like I should be getting gear oil without limited slip additive. This makes the right oil very hard to locate.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand (and source) for gear oil that meets API MT-1 or SAEJ2360 and is 140 weight, full synthetic, without limited slip additive?
Thanks for anything you can share.

PS. I just run basic Valvoline synthetic gear oil in my 200 series with Eatons front and rear. Would love to run the same stuff, but it does have limited slip additive.

What type of gear oil should I use with the ELocker?
- Most gear oils are sufficient: a quality, petroleum-mineral based oil is recommended.
- Synthetic oils and friction modifiers can also be used, but are not necessary.
- In cold weather conditions, a lower viscosity gear oil (equivalent to API GL-5 75W-90) is recommended.
