I would not recommend either MTL or MT-90 for differential use. It has
friction modifiers in it, to improve synchromesh action (which relies on
friction between the synchro rings and gears). But who needs extra friction
in a differential? In a diff, you want the slickest stuff you can find.
Sure, it "can" be used without ill effect. But why pay extra for friction
modifiers you don't need (unless you're running a clutch type limited slip
of course).
Valvoline Synpower synthetic gear lube works great in Triumph diffs, is
readily available at FLAPS, and usually half the price of Redline.
