Default Gear Oil

I need to replace my gear oil it says in the manual i need sae 75w-90 and need to meet gm specification #9986115 and the limited slip additive needs to meet gm #1052358 or equivalent and is 4oz (118ml). How many quarts or bottles of each do i need and what do you guys recommend? Found mobil 1 and amsoil but what are some of my other options?

you dont need the limited slip for 99-up torsen posi units. they are a fully gear driven posi with no clutches. most people seem to have great luck with dino cheapie oil. so have I. friend of mine added some fancy synthetic gear oil and took it to the track a couple days later and the rear end was fucked ever since. i helped him swap a spare rear end in and then i rebuilt his other one. Now Im not saying the syn oil caused that but it sure was a funny coincidence.
