Rear Diff Oil 3.0RB

[Blake8828]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been searching for ages to no avail.

Just wondering if I can use the same oil as my transmission (I use Subaru Extra-S) in the rear diff?

Car is a 6 speed Manual 3.0RB, rear diff appears to be an LSD since both wheels spin in the same direction when I spin one side by hand while raised.

I imagine if it's a viscous style LSD it would use the same oil as the transmission since the center diff is a viscous unit and it shares the transmission oil...

If it is a clutch style LSD it would require specialized LSD oil, right?

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks!

Both rear and centre LSD's are of the viscous type so you can use any gear oil in both.
