For the Gearbox only you can use either a semi or a fully synthetic 75w-90 GL4.

If you wish to use a 75w-90 fully or semi for the Differential then you need a GL4/GL5 that's suitable for LSD's or alternatively a dedicated LS 90 oil for the differential.

There are products that will do both like this one:

The alternative is the dedicated LS 90 diff oil like this one:

Hope this clarifies.
