Is there a clue somewhere as to what you are working on?

Since you say front and rear, I am assuming you are refering to front and rear differential on a 4x4 quad. If this is correct, then any gear oil should work. I use Bel-Ray Gear oil myself.  For the rear, I have a wet break which requires a "hypoid" oil.  If you have a rear disc/drum break, then you should be fine with just regular gear oil in the rear differential as well.

If you have your owners manual, it will tell you the specificratings of oils to use.

Hope this helps!
