I'm going to change my diff fluids my question is can I use the horizon marine grease for the O rings, everything that needs grease inside the diff and also outside on the teeth?

Yes any type of grease will be perfectly fine for all rubber seals

No, I recommend using "diff fluids", start with the baseline setup sheet then make adjustments using the following guide:
Confusion on OP's question for me. Just follow the manual's greasing and fluid usage points when it comes to diffs. Whether it be blue, black, white, green, or red... anywhere "Grease", or "green slime" is shown in the manual, I use the same grease in those areas.
After building kits with supplied grease, and then running out of that grease, I've used Maxima blue marine waterproof grease for many, many years. Then switched to green stuff. Then switch to white stuff. Then back to blue stuff... all good. I used to use Lucas Oil Red 'n' Tacky for years, but ran out. I've not seen any ill effects using petroleum based greases on the silicone o-rings.
