Okay from the search I did I found that people either use 75w90 or 75w140. What brand is normally used and what do people use to get the oil into the rear?
I have a 2002 Camaro Z28 6 speed with 3.42's. I'm pretty sure this is the torsen unit, so that means I don't need the limited slip additive...correct?

torsen=no additive required.
75/90 is whats recommended so thats what I have always run. Brand is preference, I personally dont think it really matters.

(Can't you tell jus by taking off diff cover and looking?) and if i have a limited slip diff what additive is needed. Thx..

I use a "shampoo pump" you can get from a beauty store or sometimes walmart, etc. Drop it right into the jug of gear lube and pump it in.

Who knew you could get stuff for working on cars at a beauty store! LOL!
