Default 02 WS6 differential oil change?

Need to change the rear axle oil in 3.23 ratio.
What type dif is stock in a 02 WS6?
Gears only or clutch type?
Use additive with std gear oil, or synthetic only?

Read dozens of post here, and totally confused.
They talk about what they use...but don't say what type gears they have, posi or not!
Someone please clear this up for all up us. Thanks

SAE 75W-90, I prefer Royal Purple. Lots of people use Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube. And you'll need a bottle of GM rear differential additive.
