80/90 is fine with the locker, Fuchs from BNT isn't a bad price about,$40 for 5litres, or $32 trade, best to get a brand that's 5litres then you'll have enough for both diffs
80/90 is fine in the transfercase as well.

I personally use LSD oil in my diffs with lockers. And fusch is a good brand.

Anyone else use Lucas Heavy Duty oil stabiliser? (Or any of the other oil additives?) I run it in both diffs (and both are LSD, so it's a bit of an experiment), transfer case, gearbox, and engine. They said to limit the mix in the gearboxes, but being the curious lad I am, I put a bit more in, about 75%. Works well -- a bit sticky when its cold is all. Also, watch how much goes in the engine because it obviously raises the oil pressure a bit.

The theory is that it sticks to the metal like pooh, but isn't miscible with water so doesn't turn to porridge.

So far, I like it.
