    As the gears are the same, I reckon the standard oil - 80-90W EP

    For a Maxi Drive locker it's just the normal oil I assume ARB is the same - but you could always ring ARB to be sure to be sure. ( as the Irish say )

    I bought an airlocker from ARB hq in Bayswater some years ago. They advised me to run limited slop diff oil in it to maintain the O-rings.
    This diff was old stock that had been sitting on their shelf for about 3 years when I bought it. The seals failed after a short time due to this time drying out. When I took it back to them under warranty, their salesman said 'you've probably been running the wrong oil in it'. I replied that I had been running it in LSX90 as advised by them. They overhauled the diff with no further complaints. Has lasted about 7 years since then in LSX90.

    Just saw the words 'limited slop' in my post at the moment that I hit the 'submit' key! Reckon my whole drivetrain could do with some of that!
