What oil is best for a LSD with 40% lock?

I've been told Castrol B373 or saf xj (limited slip diff) but I can't find either from the same outlet that also sells the engine and box oil so looking for other recommendations. Will mostlikely be ordering from camskill if they deliver oil to the Rep of Ireland.

Names of the Castrol oils have been changed, so check that your existing oil supplier doesn't have them under the alternative name.

There's very little I can get locally :( I noticed a few sites that had Castrol Limited slip diff oil had "formerly saf-xj" noted.

Oilman on here, Opie oils, they do discount for being a member on here, check the group buy section aswell as they also do extra discount sometimes. Quick delivery too.

Castrol syntrax is what you need "formerly saf-xj"
