80 / 90 is fine or you can use 75 / 90. depends if your doing heavy comp's or not! i would say 80 /90 (ep 90) is perfect. what i use

I think Ive had this conversation somewhere else

ARB Specify 90 for normal use , 140 for heavy off road use .

so am i right in thinkin 140 would be betta as i do off road but its my everyday transport aswell is 140 just betta oil

[ciderman]

Well using 140 will cover a lot more uses .

140 is thicker and holds more shock load or Extreme pressure hence "EP"

[Guest WALFY]

At work the EP90 equivalent is an oil going by the name of OEP220. (oil Extreme pressure) I may or may not use it in my axles . Good quality oil and fairly cheap . And comes in 25l cans

erm

its 85-140w to be more specific, rather then straight 140 oil

This may help

remember that the recommendation for a xW-140 lube is taking into consideration how hot a Nissan H233B, Ford 9", Dana 60 or other hypoid diff get when used hard (and often in high ambients). They generate much, much more heat (as does a Sals) than a spiral bevel Rover style diff.

IMO an xW-140 diff lube is overkill for a Rover diff and an xW-90 sufficient, but generally speaking the heavier the diff oil, the better the crown wheel and bearing protection, so it's up to you.
