Diff oil ls or regular

Do we have to use gear oil that is made for limited slip differentials for our rear diff bc it is a lsd? I heard we can use regular 75w90 gear oils is that right? Sorry if this was already discussed.

It's not clutch based so no need for LS. It won't hurt anything if you do use it though.

NE Ohio represent.

It's possible to just answer the question, just as easy.
