I contacted Quaife about oil, and they said that, while not necessary because the ATB is all gears and no clutches, the LSD additive increases lubricity and lowers temperature. I went with Redline 75W90 GL-5.

I used the same Redline 75W90 GL-5, which includes friction modifier, for my BTR cone type LSD axle. A lot easier than messing around with additives to old oil. It cured the clicking I got when maneovering on full lock with factory supplied oil. That was 25,000 miles ago. Recall having to buy another bottle as axle took more than volume quoted in handbook.
