Witt the rear end cover off what is the visual differance between limited slip and standard. Trying to figure out what oil to put in thanks.

 

It's a 1996 z28

 

all z28s were limited slip unless the posi broke.

 

80w-90 will work fine. Also need to get limited slip additive which can be purchased at any auto parts store.

 

this is my rear end which type is it?
standard or limited slip?
thankyou

 

that differential looks like the Auburn gear I had. That is a limited slip differential, and it should have posi-traction

 

you can tell, did you ever do burnouts in the car? If yes, did both back wheels spin or just one? if it's two, that's posi traction, if one then its standard

 

Okay thank you so muchh and both tires spin so yahh

 

put it up on a jack put the car in neutral and spin one of the tires, if they go the same way then its posi.

 

basically, limited slip still allows the wheels to turn at different speeds. For instance, taking a right or left turn. The inside wheel is gonna spin slower then the outside wheel. The limited slip allows for that difference but both tires will still spin when you do hit the gas..

a locker will not allow the wheels to turn at different speeds. both axles are "locked" together.

 

ah, learning something new everyday..
