Gear fluids I have from other cars can I use them in my 5speed/4.10 LSD?

The 75w90 NS isn't good for LSDs. It's meant for open diffs. Doesn't have any friction modifiers etc.Estoguy

I don't remember what car(s) they were for. I also have 2 Redline synth ATF bottles.
I want to refresh the fluids and figured if I had some that was correct already why buy more.
Thanks

Any atf is good for e30 steering, the cheaper the better. If it leaks, use valvoline maxlife with stop leak. It's amazing for sealing up leaky racks/pumps etc for $6.'88 M3.2 S54 Lachssilber/Black

Good to know, the last two owners took care of leaks, one put in a e36 rack, new lines & pump and did all the seals, clutch and suspension. Only nigggle is it does not want to run.
First I had this:
Now this:
I wanted a project but this is ridiculous!

unsure about your other juice. 75w90 is pretty generic and might be good in a diff. no idea what NS is.
MTL and MT90 are GL-4 (synchro-safe) fluids. MTL is 75w80 and MT90 is 75w90.
75w90 is good for the diff, we use it in the endurance cars without issue, 75w90ns will make the diff chatter at low speeds, as the modifiers in it help worn diffs.
- Contains extreme pressure additives like our 75W90 GL-5 oil, but lacks friction modifiers to balance slipperiness
- Improved copper corrosion protection to prolong synchro life
- Helps with lock-up on weak limited-slip differentials-compatible with Red Line Limited Slip Friction Modifier for tuning slippage
- Also used with clutch-type LSDs in racing for maximum lock up
Most important thing is NEVER use GL-5 in a Getrag or ZF. It is yellow metal corrosive (synchros).
