EP90 Hypoid oil will be fine. If it's an LSD and it needs a huge amount of topping up it's worth bearing in mind that it needs an additive.

Very unlikely to be LSD, and, for topping up, EP90 will be fine anyway. It's just that if you have had to top up an LSD an awful lot, you need to think about the additive or an "LS" oil which already contains them.
