2nd Gen 4Runner manual locking hubs and front diff fluid?

well im getting ready to change my diff fluids and my tranny and transfer case fluids over to synthetic this weekend hopefully. i was looking through my owners manual for the wheights and viscosity of the fluids. it lists two types:
"Oil type
ADD
Toyota "Gear Oil Super" oil or hypogear oil API GL-5
Except ADD
Hypoid gear oil API GL-5
Recommended oil viscosity:
ADD
SAE 75W-90
Except ADD
Above -18 degrees C 0 degrees F
SAE 90
Below -18 Degrees
SAE 80W or 80W-90"

so my question is if i have manual locking hubs should i follow the "Except ADD" or does it not matter?

thanks guys

I have used Valvoline synthetic 75-90w when I had my add flanges, and I still use the same with my manual hubs--makes no difference.
