80-90wt oil, and if you have a LSD you need the stinky additive too.

IF u have a LSD and IF it's noisy/chatters in a turn, add the additive. If it's quiet, don't.

How do i know if i have an LSD Diff? And it makes the kind of noise that sounds similar to air in the radiator, that crunchry bubbly grinding noise. I have a feeling it might be my bearings, but i figured i might as well change the oil in the diff anyway as maintenance im sure my PO didnt..
