Default 10 bolt cover

I want to change my gear oil and figured I would just get a better cover while im at it. Where can I get a cover and does it matter if its mac or TA? Also what gear oil should I put in and I dont need friction modifier in it since its the stock diff and already boke in.

put 75/90 gear oil and little bottle of posi additive. i would get GM additive and the gear oil from a GM dealership if you can afford it. dont waste your money on an aftermarket diff cover they wont stop your rearend from breaking and they will start to leak around the preload bolts. they look cool but only if you crawl under the car to see it(nobody will see it unless you show them). i had one and switched back to the stock after breaking 2 rearends and i have never used drag radials or slicks and never launched at high rpms. it wasn't helping and i got tired of it leaking. your money would be better spent on something else or saved for a 9".

ws6 store or Fast toys is where i plan on buying mine, not sure if ones better then the other but ill probly go with the mac because its a little cheaper, you also have to pay the extra 25 for the ta kit and i believe the mac has it built into their price
