What type/brand...

I am installing an SLP posi and 3.23 gears in my Camaro. I planned on using regular gear oil for the rear and possibly some posi additive. Do you have any recommendations, where to get it, and how much? Thanks!

If I remember correctly(I installed Richmond gears/Auburn posi) the auburn unit came with instructions on oil and some additive which was available at any GM parts counter.

There's nothing like an informative, technically-based, well thought-out response to a request for information.
