You'll probably have to use 75w140 if you want synthetic in a normal brand.

You don't actually have to use synthetic. I think D2 specifies it just to increase the change interval. The differential is the same as in the D1, which doesn't specific synthetic.

I do not think you really gain anything with synthetic gear oil. go dino get the heavy stuff and change it every year or after deep water crossings. the expense of the syn for me is just not worth it.
