Agreed... Redline is a great choice, if you wanted to go over the counter you should go with mobil 1...

I think its especially important to run synthetic in the diff since the fluid doesnt circulate per se (like oil and ATF does)...

Well, it may be Walmart branded, but I doubt they make it!

Check the label ... it is perhaps made for them by some decent source.
