The rear diff comes from the factory with synthetic fluid, so there is definitely no problems using it. Front & rear of my Expedition has been running synthetics for a couple of years now with no problems.

Since you have LS, you'll need to get some "Friction Modifier" from Ford. Should cost less than $6 per bottle. Check your owner's manual to see how many you need. Probably just one.
