Normal SAE 90 gear oil in an "open" diff and either an additive or special oil for a limited slip (SureGrip) diff.

Use the same trans fluid in your power steering as you would use in your transmission.

I use a Kenwood oil for the Diff. Its for Posi Diff's only, ie Sure Grip Diff's. I bought mine from American AutoParts in Surrey, never had any probs.
