OK, you are up there and the specs we get down here sometimes do not transfer to your market, BUT, here goes.
Castrol Australia lists:
EPX 80W90, for NON LSD units.
LSX90 for LSD units.
Now being that the USA NEVER got thw mighty 3.2ltr engine, and my info indicates that the 4ltr cars ALL got LSD, I would go with the LSD oil.
Also down here, MOST gear oils are now LSD compatible, coz LSD oil will NOT harm a non LSD diff, but non-LSD oil, can reek havoc with a LSD diff. Good old Aussie common sense haha.
