Current rear axle oil type recomendations

Need to change the rear axle oil since its never been done. what the current recommendation on the type off to use and weight. my pinion seal has a very minor leak, was told if I use synthetic that leak will be a concern.

If you tow or live where it's real hot use synthetic 75w140
Otherwise any good approx 90w is fine.
