Royal Purple Gear Lube Oil

GM recommends 80w, 80W90 GL5 gear lube, + GM additive #1052271 for limited slip differentials for my KITT. I want to use Royal Purple 75w90 Gear lube to my rear end, will it screw up my rear end? Should I add the additive or not? or use something else?

75W-90 is fine. Use the posi additive if your posi makes noise going around corners. Adding it before you know it makes noise is fine as well.

Re: Royal Purple Gear Lube Oil

Royal Purple has the additive built in. Just pour it in and go.

Did you use Royal Purple before and did you use the GM additive?

Re: Royal Purple Gear Lube Oil

I have been using royal purple for all applications, in all my vehicles. I am running it in my 88 bird, and i did not use any additives. I have the 3.08 W/ posi and it has been fine. I don't have any whining that i have heard about on these cars.
