    I've used M1 in the front diff and valvoline dino in the rear. I wanted to flush the rear diff a little more before I put M1 in and I'm waiting to do the diff breather. I've put about 700 miles on the front diff and about 6000 miles on the rear diff. no problems or enhancements noted with either.
    T-case I used Ravenol 75w. at some point tacos changed from regular gear oil to toyota LF. For almost $60 a liter, I preferred to go ravenol 75w for under $15. not sure if an '06 can use gear oil or if it needs an oil without sulphur like toyota LF or ravenol 75w.

    I've put about 7000 miles on front and rear diff of our audi with M1. again, no problems or enhancements noted.
