I am a proponent of using synthetic lubricants in the driveline. Their higher cost can be justified by safely extending the drain interval, as internal combustion does not take place here.

The last round of fluids I purchased was from Specialty Formulations, however, I don't know that they're producing any longer.

75W-90 full synthetic in the axles.

An SAE 20 grade in the T-case, just like ATF but with all the anti-wear additives a gear lube contains.

I have the NV4500 transmission and running their SAE 75W-85 GL4 lubricant.

That's what I chose. Their prices, including shipping were decent.
Mobil 1 synthetic products are usually readily available at retail stores.
