I think I would do some more research on the subject or wait for an expert on here to clear it up. If I am reading your post right your axle code is 97 which isn't a limilted slip.
Regardless, I just changed my rear diff fluid and pinion seal on my 2002 XLT and used 75W90 LS mobil one and it seems to be fine. LS if for limited slip but I don't think it would hurt even if you have an open axle. I would recommend using sythetic, but JMO. Good luck, by the way it wasn't too bad of a job, did it in a couple hours.
