I would not imagine that it would make a HUGE difference although I wonder why you can't get EP90? Seems more common than EP80W! :o

The local halfords doesn't stock EP90 for some reason, but had EP80W.

Well, I've never tried anything but EP90 in my diffs, so I can't speak from experience but I'd say it would be OK. At worst I think it MIGHT leak SLIGHTLY more but maybe not.

Well, whatever I put in it it'll probably be better than the stuff in there at the moment! (haven't changed it in 2 years :( )
