Default Ford 9 inch rear axle oil.

My Daytona with a 9 inch rear axle (not limited slip diff) might have a noisy axle. I say might because the car is very noisy anyway and because the rear end is very rigid with rose jointed suspension I’m thinking resonance might be an explanation. So you might be asking why I’m bothered? Well I’m not too bothered, ear plugs might be a solution, but thought if I filled the axle with oil that is most likely to quiet it then that’s the best I can do then put up with it. If I’m not mistaken and I stand to be corrected standard oil is EP90. An oil specialist here in the U.K. can offer a dual EP 70w/140 or a straight EP140. Thoughts please? Thanks.
