88 differential additives and lube
greetings,
i have changed the diff oil in a previously owned 81 vette and it wasn't that bad although, the drain plug was a bit high in the housing.
in my 88, i took a peek a few weeks ago and it appears it is even higher and almost inaccessible!...this one is gonna be tough!
at any rate, as far as the gm additive for the differential goes, is there a comparable additive as that of gm's additive for the rear-end differential that i could use? local distributors like pep-boys, advance auto parts, auto zone?........thanks.

use a suction gun with some clear plastic tubing.
You will need to get a diameter that will slide between the splines or you will suck very little fluid out.
Yes you can buy aftermarket limited slip or posi-traction differential additive at mahor autoparts shops.
two 4 oz bottles of the GM product is the recommended quantity by Gordon Killibrew despite the manual saying only one.
