Factory LT1 Rear End Question Doing a complete tune up on the formula, need to know what weight gear oil goes in her rear.
75w-90
80w-90
75w-150
Just a few of the options I have at work. Also, switching from factory spec'd gears to aftermarket 3.73 ratio ring and pinion, does the weight stay the same? I was thinking it might go a notch thicker.
Thank you in advance.

Right from the owner's manual...
Limited-Slip Differential
To add lubricant when the level is low,
use Axle Lubricant (GM Part No.
105227 1 ) or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear
lubricant. To completely refill after
draining, add 4 ounces (1 18 ml) of
Limited-Slip Differential Additive
(GM Part No. 1052358). Then fill to the
bottom of the filler plug hole with Axle
Lubricant (GM Part No. 12345977) or
SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant
