Rear End Fluid change

gonna do a fluid change in the rear, can u get a gasket at any parts store for a 10bolt? its a 98 ss camaro. i would like to get redline 80w140, does that need the gm additive in it?? is that a good weight oil or should i just get the stock weight? the rear is noisy as hell and crying like a baby at low speed turns. Thanks

the p/n for the gasket is RDS 55072 (fel-pro). the redline oil is fine, you should include the posi additive. sounds like it may be on its way out though...
