Thank you, strange is the Castrol oil selector website after searching my plate number showing me an Oil with Limited slip type for both front and rear, not sure which type of diff oil I have to get for it ??

Yes, the castrol oil selector can be confusing i am also not sure if it is a problem to put a LSD oil in a non LSD diff...

I went always with Castrol TRANSMAX Axle EPX 85W-90 and it worked fine in my HDJ80 and HZJ78 both with difflocks...

Important is to get a oil for Hypoid gears...

No, it is not. Just a bit more pricey.
But you can limit the amount of different types of oil to be stored and get bigger quantities if you go LSD everywhere. (Provided you need it at all).
LSD axles usually have a respective warning sticker on it. On older models you could also tell from the axle code on the VIN plate: last digit=5 indicates LSD, but I'm not sure whether this still applies to lounger models.
Cheers Ralf
 
I think there is usually a "Only LSD oil" sticker on the differential housing as well. Maybe that stopped with the newer 70 series or they fall off perhaps.
