One of  the TR Kas books gave a part number for the correct GM locker oil, 
and I used it for many years until they took the whale oil out of it, and I had 
my only two Detroit Locker failures in short order.  The locker pieces need a 
cushion if you go all out with slicks; I highly recommend Redline shockproof, 
and saving  your thin oil for other applications.

I use Redline gear lube (75w90, I think) in my non-triumph rear axle 
with a detroit locker.  It hasn't caused problems.  My understanding 
is that the lockers aren't very particular about the type of oil, 
unlike our transmissions.
