Default diff oil

Seems most setups run heavier oils in the front diff and lighter in the rear, has anyone tried heavier rear diff than front.
reason being if you run a looser front ball diff this gives more steering
so would this work with geared diffs?
I race on a wooden floor and found running lighter oils makes the car easier to drive but running light rear oils makes the car looser out of corners.

From another well known forum-

Front
Thinner :

increases steering into corners (off-power)
if oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners

Thicker:

increases stability into corners during braking
increases steering on-power at corner exit
.................................................. .......... ........................

.................................................. .......... .........................
Rear
Thinner:

increases cornering traction
increases steering into corner
Thicker:

decreases rear traction while cornering
reduces wheelspin
