you can either buy the gear oil 75w 90 with LS additive in it or just go buy the additive, they sell it separate.. I use the Royal Purple and it has it in there already, the RP isnt cheap though..

Yes the 75w90 is the stuff but with the additive. I use Lucas gear oil myself but royal purple is good stuff too.

Sounds like open diff....no special lube or additive needed.
