I used the regular GM lube (75w-90) and GM limited slip additive when I changed the lube in my '93. No problems.

I use Royal Purple 75w90 gear oil. Additive is already in there. Works great. I also use Royal Purple in the manual transmission which made the tranny quieter and shift smoother. A friend told me that Royal Purple would have these benefits, but I thought that it was all marketing hype. However, these benefits were REAL; I could feel the difference immediately.
