Rear diff and t-case fluid

I was gonna use all Redline fluids so was wondering which Redline fluid I'm suppose to use for the t-case and rear diff since they need to be LSD fluid? Thanks.

I would stick with the OEM Diaqueen on both rear diff and the tcase.

If you do want to use Redline: 75W-90 in transfer case/rear diff.

Road Race Engineering put Redline Heavy ShockProof gear oil in my transfer case and rear diff. I wouldnt put any other oil than Oem diaqueen, redline shock proof, and royal purple max gear. Never heard of anyone adding lsd additives. Most people here are gonna tell you to use oem diaqueen.

Only use OEM in the t case unless you have an aftermarket front diff.

I have been running amsoil for 10k in my tranny and t-case with no issues. Redline is good too.

OEM fluids are the best to use. But with talking to Shepard, he says it depends on how much HP you are running to which to a different fluid. With higher HP cars he says to use Redline stuff
