Russ,
We use Shell "Diff Oil" for a '97 80 series, in both front and rear. Also use the same in 2 79 series work utes and a 100 series dual cab, in rear diffs, and Shell Spirax 85W/140 in front.
Never had a problem that I could relate to the oil. Just the occasional tojo diff "hissy fit". Good to change the oils regularly, every 40K or less.
Hooroo...

Gday Russ
You will find your gearbox will become hard to shift...all cruiser boxes hate 90 grade especially in the cold climates...best oil for it is Castrol vmx-m 75-90, transfer and front diff, any 90 grade ep oil, rear ls90. There is no problem running ls90 in the front either, just more expense.
When you put ARB lockers in a diff, LS90 is recommended to assist the orings wear. For those who dont know, ls90 has friction modifiers added to the oil, which will interfere with synchros etc.
