Yes there is rear diff on the rear axle. Best to stick with OEM oils or equivalents instead of generic 75W90 oil.

I don't know about auto box diff oils but 6 speed manual calls for special oil in gearbox + centre and front diffs. Audi recommends one of Castrols Syntrans oils, I don't remember viscosity but it is GL4+ specification. Regular GL4 is not good enough for high pressure hypoid gears and GL5 wears out bronze bushes and synchromesh gears.
