From Strange on F-Body S60
"Break-in procedure for street gears: No harsh acceleration! Drive the vehicle 50 miles then allow a 1/2 hour for the differential to cool down. Repeat this sequence for a total of 250 miles. At 500 miles remove the differential cover, fully clean the inside, seal the cover and reinstall. Refill with approximately *2 quarts of gear oil."

From Strange's F-Body S60 literature:
"The S60 requires approximately *2 quarts of gear oil. Non-synthetic SAE 85W-140 gear oil is recommended for drag racing applications and non-synthetic SAE 80W-90 is recommended for street applications."
*Amount of fluid may vary depending on type of cover, gear ratio, and differential.
Now for a 12-Bolt they do recommend additives, but according to the literature, they do not for the S60. You may want to call Strange and ask why.
