I use Mobil synthetic in my 'A' O/D box, for a Triumph big saloon in daily use
for almost 10 years, without any problems. I use the GL-4 specification,
which does not have the high pressure (hypoy) additives that GL-5 has.
For winter driving, the synthetic is a must.
It was recommended to me as suitable for O/D boxes by the tech departement
of the local Mobil office (naturally :-), and it would surprise me a lot
if it wasn't available in the US.
Don't use GL-4 for the differential, of course, GL-5 is required there.
