Default Changing rear end fluid?

I need to change my rearend fluid and need to know what brand to use? It's a '98 Z28 with an A4 and 2.73's. I believe it's an Auburn, from what i've read, and supposed to use regular oil and a posi additive, correct me if i'm wrong. What brand and weight should I use for the oil and what brand of additive?

Just get 2 quarts of 80W90 gear oil and 1 bottle of additive. I use Vavloline but, many other brands are good too.

Is the additive Valvoline too, or is this something you have to get from the dealer?
