? about the torsen's pinion paddle

You know, the paddle shaped wedge that keeps the c-clips buried... I had that thing out so many times before I finally installed it permanately... but I wasn't sure if there was an up or down..The thing has channels and holes cut into it at angles..Was there a correct way? I hope not, it's a done deal and can't remember anyhows.. Also will Havoline 80-90w gear oil be fine in that unit? and should I add a little something to the oil ....thanks
