Diff Fluid for 06

Hello,

Ill be soon changing my fluids for my diff and just want to confirm the right gear oil is 75W-90 (front&rear). I read that is it but ease of mind to get confrimation.

Also, which fluids have been used or would be recommend?

Cheers!

I checked at the Amsoil site and then bought their recommended fluid when I did it.
