I use Mobil 1 75w90 LSD gear oil in my non LSD Firebird FORMULA in my sig and have also used it in my wife's previous Lexus AWD TC & Diff(non LSD). I bought a gallon of PEAK 80w90 LSD gear oil from Pep Boys for around $15/gal. I believe this was their regular price. IDK if PEAK has a 80w140 LSD. Last edited: Nov 26, 2017
