Need Diff fluid recommendations

[Douglas Mariani]

Its time for me to give my 1980 Vette some attention(52k Org miles).I need some recommendations for differential fluids and is there a better posi additive or should I just stay with the GM posi additive.

 

[GTR1999]

stay with the GM additive and either 85-140 or 80-90 gear oil. No special snake oils needed beyond those.

Thank you GTR and what would you prefer I use 85-140 or 80-90 gear oil. The car does have 52k on the rear.

Thanks

I have stayed outta this, but in the iron diffys the Valvoline gear oil marked for posi use...

been fine in this iron shark diffy for some years now...

I would use 80-90.

In hot Southern Kalifornia? I would think you would go heavier. I need the light stuff up here in cold country.

That's is what I have used in my diff since 1972. It has over 350,000 miles on it

 

[BRUTAL64]

I would use 80-90.

I've used 85-140 since 78.

I used 80-140 with GM additive. Seems to be the recommendation.

I'm going with 85-140 & GM additive

I use Lucas 85-140 gear oil in my cars and rebuilds.
