Default 9.5" 14 bolt 6lug AXN gear oil?

What is the recommended gear oil for this rear end? I have been running Mobil 1 75W-90, should I be using a heavier weight? It also has a G80, I've been told to use friction modifier and not too... Who's right? lol

The G-80 doesn't require a friction modifier, just synthetic gear oil...the 10 bolt is 75w-90 and I believe that the 14 bolt is also...

budhayes3, I will personally Buy what ever brand 5W-30 for you to put in your own rear end. All I ask is that you let us all know how long it last and post up the pictures.
