you don't need a certain grease really, just any grease you have available.

use some oil and you want thinner oil in the front. that means the higher the number on the oil, the thinner it is.

ex (what i use): 7000 in the front, 5000 in the rear

Depends how you want the diffs to react, if you put in a thinner oil (1000wt) the diffs will work 'as they should', if you put in a really thick oil (like 100,000 wt) the diffs will work more like they have been locked.

Personally I have 30,000wt in the front ( keeps the power down when the beast is cornering hard) and 10,000wt in the rear.
