Yes, you could use regular automotive grease. You can also try Gorilla Snawt- It's really sticky so it stays on the gears, but also really slippery so it actually reduces friction a lot.

That would be the diff cup. Generally you would put a silicone differential oil in there, there are different viscosities to give you different amounts of diff action, thicker oil will act more like a locked rear end. If you don't want to bother or don't want to wait you can put some grease in there to keep it lubed.

thanks for the info... what weight would grease be close too? and how close would it be to a locked diff?
