We have been running Redline Lightweight ShockProof in ours with a =
Detroit Locker.  We change it every 5th event and it comes out looking =
exactly the same as the new stuff that we are putting in.  WNo signs =
that it has been burnt, beat-up or that it has dissolved anything that =
it should not have.  So far, so good.

stock differential center section which has brass / bronze (aka "yellow =

yellow metal. But the Quaife internals are all steel, so GL5 should not =
be a problem.

and I think the 75w-90 would be working out of temp range.
