Wrong Forum.
I tried Penrite Sin 75 originally in my 6 speed and found it got notchier and notchier. Got to the point I was worried I was actually losing syncho's so I dropped it out after 3000k's and put in Redline lightweight shockproof. Massive difference but it was $135 for the 3.875 litre bottle. I put royal purple max-gear 75-90W in the diff but that's a Clutch pack diff. On the open diff I just used penrite ten tenth's and that was fine. Came out very clean when I swapped diff centres. Not metal shaving, though again..3000k's on that oil.
