Need help finding oil for my rearend...

Hey guys..

Being from Denmark I often run into problems with getting parts locally, but everytime Google saves the day.. But I've been googling like a mad man, with no luck..
I have a Strange Dana 60 rearend, and want to change the oil in it... Strange recommends using 75w-140 non-synthetic from any well known brand..
Where can I buy such an oil?
I can find synthetic types everywhere, but I'm assuming they recommend non-synthetic for a reason...?

Thanks..

I think they recommend non synthetic for the clutch packs.  Any 80-90 weight gear oil should do the trick.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Here in the US "finding oil for my rearend" can mean many things.

Haha, it kind of means the same in Danish, I just wasn't thinking along those lines when I wrote my post..  :2thumbs:
Just to clarify, for Bull's sake, I'm talking about my Charger...  :nana: :icon_smile_wink:

I'm a complete oil newbie, so bare with me here..
You're saving that any 80-90 weight non-synthetic should be fine?
I've read the same from other internetpages, but I hesitate when Strange recommend otherwise..
Why would they then recommend an 75w-140?  :scratchchin:
I spent a lot of money on the rearend, and would like to give it the best possible conditions..  :shruggy:

I'd use any good name 85w-140 non-synthetic which should be real common.

I use Spirax A axle oil  high quality heavy duty  LS90 made by Shell. It's a non synthetic oil. To that I add Additive Friction Modifier by Motorcraft.
