Manual diff oil is what is required don't use LSD oil
same weight as listed in Maintenance manual
castrol or any of the other leading companies is fine
I use castrol 80w/90 in my Eaton locker

X2, The ARB locker has its own list of oils in the user guide and my installer removed the LSD OIL ONLY sticker from the rear diff just in case they used the wrong oil at service

The air locker book says for Heavy Off Road Use
Shell Spirax HD 85W-140
or Mobil Mobilube GX140
GX140 is no longer available
Mobil Mobilube HD 85W-140 (API GL-5) Multigrade transmission and Differential has replaced it.
This is whats in our locked diffs, used in 4WD a weekend a month so went for H/D O/R use
