Default lube for rear end

Is this the lube I use in the rear diff?
I have this leftover from my C4 diff.

If it doesn't have limited slip additive, you will need to add some. But should work otherwise.

I believe it has the limited slip additive in it.

Thanks

I had a bad experience with that lube in a Dana 44.

Had a really good shop build it right, and was there when he did it, it was built tight just like I wanted. Put in that lube and in three autocross weekends it was slipping and the clutch packs wore out in short order.

Once a LSD clutch starts to slip wear is pretty fast. I've had better diff clutch life with the factory fill and the friction modifier.

Just my experience.

That's what I use, no issues, has the friction modifier in it.
