Ok thanks!
I just bought some 75w-90 for my truck, looks like I gotta go back to AutoZone for more
I love some Mobil 1 Syn
Does AutoZone not have posi lube? Because I got some from there for my F150....or does the GM version have better stuff in it?
Also is it pretty simple to change? I haven't looked under the car yet, so is the plug on towards the front or back?

The Autozone here didn't carry any type of additives. The only place I could ever find it was the dealer... who charged a pretty penny for it... ($11)
You'll find the "drain" plug... and I use the term drain loosely.. on the back of the differential towards on the passenger side. I hesitate to call it a drain plug because it's high up on the housing... so as a result, you have to suction the old oil out somehow... unless you have the differential out of the car.
Best of luck.

Mobil 1, dude. That's all you need. Mobil says you don't need to add friction modifiers and I haven't in mine. It's been running fine for 40,000 miles and changing to it actually cured a clutch chatter problem I had before that.
