 Hi - if you are running a Quaife, the Redline should be okay. The only rea=
son it would not be okay would be if you were still running the stock diffe=
rential center section which has brass / bronze (aka "yellow metal") parts.=
 The shockproof stuff is API GL5 and that will eat the yellow metal. But th=
e Quaife internals are all steel, so GL5 should not be a problem.
As a point of reference and pertaining to the question, I've been mostly us=
ing Mobil 1 75w140. I would also recommend using the higher numbered oil 75=
w-140 vs 75w-90 because the differential runs very hot and I think the 75w-=
90 would be working out of temp range.
Regards,Bob Lang
