Rear End Fluid Change Hey guys, I'm about to change my rear end fluid for the first time. I got the GM gasket and GM posi-additive. What kind of fluid should I toss in there? Also do I just fill it up till it starts to ooze out of the fill hole?
thanks,
Justin

make sure you get 75w-90 or something similar
good luck and dont spill gear oil on yourself, it smells HORRIBLE!!
