Default Which Gear Oil with ARB Locker?

I know this has been asked before but I can not seem to find a definite answer searching.
For those with an ARB locker, what gear oil are you using?

I've used Mobil 1 75-90 Synthetic up until now. Is this still ok to run or should I be using a heavier oil and/or different oil all together?

Appreciate the help.

Pretty please? I'm through my new gear break-in and need to switch out in the next day or two.

^^ Same as PCH, Synthetic and I would go to 75w140 also. I am running Amsoil Severe gear 75w140 in both my ARB'd 44's.
