diff oil recommendations

ok, I remember there was an engine oil recommendations thread ages ago (we all know penrite rocks anyhow).
I've just had the truetrac centre installed in my f-series diff, and I'd like to know people's opinions on good brands of diff oil, and appropriate viscocities.
Car is in sydney, and it is a daily driver as well as a track car, so it'll need to be able to handle high speeds on hot days, and also low speeds on cold days!

pffft
the best value for money diff oil has to be Pentites Lim-Slip 140W oil, 4 L for 20 bucks and it works very well. Seems to quieten down noisy 2 way lsd's also while performing really well.
I ran some expensive "smurf's blood" Redline oil initially and i wasnt that impressed with it, lsd wasnt predictable, and was very chattery, not good for something thats 50 bucks a L.
switched to penrite and no worries!

Its Torsen, so you don't need LSD oil.
Just get something with a high boiling point.

true, but the truetrac recommendation is to just use the manufacturer recommended oil *shrugs*
so cruz - you reckon just get some nice thick 140w in there?

I'm not sure hey, I'll probably going for Penrite in mine, maybe something from the new SIN range.
But jump on all the manufacturers websites, find out what has the highest boiling point.

considering the way I treat my car, I'm thinking penrite sin is the goods.
anything that says "made for use in competition cars, and can be used on the road" is a winner

All the comments below are in regard to a cusco rs 2-way.
Having run a few different oils now id have to say the Penrite 10 tenths competition LSD oil (80 - 140) is the best value for money. i think i payed $45 for 2.5L. - this is the gold stuff, had to be ordered in at the auto shop, but yeah, ill be using it from now on.
The penrite blue suff (limslip 90) - was shit, end of story
Kaaz powertran gear oil (80-90) - Good stuff, but no different in my diff when compared to the penrite stuff mentioned above, as such i wouldnt recommend paying extra for this espically in a cusco lsd. If u wanna spend the big bucks, get cusco oil. I would like to hear from anyone who has run cusco oil so please pm me details if u have.
Castrol fully synthetic limitied slip rear axle oil (80-140) - Shit, waste of money, steer clear.
I think there about the only ones ive used.
As stated this was with a cusco lsd, but id seriosuly recommend the penrite gold stuff.

Oops I didn't read the trutrak bit...
I assume that center would need LS90 or similar... just make sure you go for a decent brand full synthetic and change it every 10-20,000kms and you'll be right.

Castrol SAFXA-NEW pretty good stuff. Already has the necessary additives included which the older product didnt. At $22 a litre (wholesale) its competitively priced.
Never had a problem even with the older product.
