differential oil change

im gonna change differential oil on my 06 g35 coupe. So i bought two mobile 1 75w-90 LS gear oil. Gear oil is same as differential oil, right?
What does LS stand for? These bottles look little different than other bottles. These are more slim and has this....funnel(?) looking cap.
did i get the right oil for my car??

Anyone know the torque for filling and draining plug?

thx

LS = Limited Slip? You'll need 2 - takes about 1.5 qts (3 pints)

Looks like it's GL-5 so I think it should be fine...AFAI can tell, it has no additives that our diffs should not have.

Anyone else?

Use a 10mm hex and torque to 25 lbs feet. Oh, and take the TOP one out first, that way if you get the bottom one out, drain the oil, and then can't get the top one out, you are less fornicated.
