The Redline I've heard of people using is Shockprood lightweight. You'll need a friction modifier so that it will suit your LSD as well. For other options I've used Penrite Sin 75w90, it's meant to be formualted to suit LSD boxes. I was pretty happy with it. I've just changed to a Motul oil though. There are 2 sorts of motul you can get that are the right viscousity and both are designed for LSD boxes. I ended up getting the FF-LSD though. It's meant to be specifically designed for front wheel drive LSD boxes. Supposed to be the stuff the use the subaru boxes for the rally cars and stuff.

I've been really happy with it. Works better cold thatn the penrite stuff I was using and allows me to make much faster changes without the syncrho hating me. Was bloody expensive though - over $100 for 3litres.
