Go with the Standard 80/90 gear oil or do I use an Additive for the lockers?

you have to use a friction modifier in addition to the oil.  for heavy use and/or towing might go with a heavier oil too but i don't know what the threshold would be.

You DO NOT need friction modifer with ARBs, just standard 80w90 gear oil.  So don't waste the money

I talked directly to Tim Lund at ARB and he suggested synthetic to me.
