Wat differential oil do I buy for my 200sx automatic on an S registration

[botcha]

Hi I've been leaking diff oil from my S reg automatic from the small hose at the rear and have only just noticed.. I need to change the hose I'm sure as I've placed new hardened clips around the hose and it still seems to be leaking..
Not sure how much oil I've lost so need to change it. But not sure what oil to buy?.
Any ideas guys

An oil leak from the diff is a rare problem to hear about.

The car as standard should have a diff cooler, and there are hoses between the diff and the cooler.
The cooler is basically useless. Standard electrics almost never actually feed any oil into it. The cooler can be discarded, and the hose connections removed and blocked off.

The diff oil should be a GL5 oil, and from what I've read in the past, synthetic oils are a waste of money for the diff.
Halfords or Nissan GL5 oil, typically 80w90 viscosity rating, will be fine.

Thank you Jon for the oil recommendation . Yes it's actually the hose between the diff and cooler which is causing the leak, I've clamped 3 strengthened clips to it and it's still dripping through .
Going to replace hose and renew the oil.
Thanks

So u say it's fine to remove the hose and bung it off at the diff?
