75w-90 is a pretty universal weight for gear oil on almost all diffs that sees daily use. But the different weights are for people who use their cars for different purposes. The first number in the gear oil means the pouring consistency that it has when cold. The last number is the oil consistency when it is at full operating temperature.

My MAIN goal is to have the BEST protection diff fluid with the lightest weight (still suitable for my location's climate range) that would have the least power drag (or inefficiency).
I don't want to have a molasses thick diff fluid that would create even worse gas mileage than I am already getting and rob me of power.

Believe what you will but I've always been told by Curt Aigner that the stock factory diff uses 80w-140 and have found that it works best for all racing application that I've put it to. You also know that the higher operating range is good for track use since the oil won't break down right?
