Otherwise known as EP 90 or 80/90 gear oil & your car should take 2 US pints.
I gotta confess that 'Differential fluid' is a term that I haven't heard before.

[EP= Extreme pressure]

Sorry about the termanology. I am, by no means, a mechanic. Thanks for the info

For more details, see Club wiki - Differential Lubricant

Since the differential is a typical hypoid-gear unit, you can use any lubricant designed for such:
* the traditional "90 weight" gear oil
* the newer 75W140 multi-weight gear oil
