Default Gear oil for auto lockers

IM going to be changing my gear oil in my rear d44 which has a grizzly locker installed.

Do I need to be running a specific type of gear oil (synthetic, non synthetic, additives, no additives) to make the locker happy?

I'm not to sure what oil they call for. If I was you I'd try and research that on their website or send them an e-mail to tech support.

I tried researching the web and no one gives a straight answer lol

Their website is no help and well...I'm worried a out a gear issue atm and want to check out the gears today before the week starts tomorrow.

I guess if worst comes to worse I can always just not put the gear oil back in until I call them Monday.
