I went to the dealership and they turned me upside down for two quarts of 75/90 at $30 each and some limited slip at $7.99 each. I went to Aoutozone and got some Mobile 1 75/90 synthetic. Used the GM supplied limited slip. Drain old gunk out and wait a few minutes to get it all out. Then easily pour in one quart, then the limited slip, and top off with 2nd quart. If you can't do it yourself, I paid $30.00 to have mechanic do it for me. Most likely, $25.00 too much! It takes about 5 -10 minutes to do it all. No more. But sure beats getting the rear differential seal repaired! 10 minutes as compared to an entire day at $400 or more! hell, just go with 3:73 gears and get it all done at once...Hahahahahahahaha

Royal Purple works for me. I put it in the car late spring. Doesn't need LSD additive.
