Any issues using 80W-90 Gear Oil LSD Gear Oil in either my D35 or D30? I also have Redline 75W-90 Gear Oil, but noticed I have this 80W-90 stuff laying around.

the 80W-90 will work fine. If you use the 75W-90, be sure to get some of the limited slip additive.

LSD oil in non-LSD diff is a non-issue. A clutch type LSD may need the additive IF there's clutch chatter in a tight turn....no chatter, no additive needed.
