Default diff and oil

i know theres already alot of threads but i jsut wanna make sure

im just over 10000 miles now and almost time for an oil change at 30%
around 5k i switched to mobil1 synthetic motor oil ..
did my trans flush at 7000 miles or so ago with the new honda MTF which is better for most of the time
anyways now i want to change my diff fluid with mobil1 .. not sure if i want to go honda or mobil1 but seems like alot of you guys went mobil1 or other aftermaket fluids other than Honda

this is what i know and please correct me

get one quart of Mobil1 75W90
which GL do i get?
and do i need anything else other than just the gear oil? no additives?

thanks again

Any Brand GL5 Synthetic
75W90
or
80W90
will provide excellent protection
Mobil 1, Amsoil, Redline, Motul are ALL good...

No additive or friction modifier needed.

Mobil1 75w90 in the silver bottle will surely do the job, and then some.

One bottle is good. You'll use 85% of it to fill the dif.
