anti slip question
does it matter what brand of limited slip additive I use in the rear diff of my 1985 - am using non synth lucas 80w90 - I did not know if I had to use the gm brand or are there others that are acceptable?
thanks

Some lubes have the "additive" built-in. For example, I'm pretty sure the Valvoline 75w-140 "synthetic" I'm using is that way.

On my '96 Impala SS I used a lube that said it had the limited slip additives, however it chattered when slow speed turning. I put in the 4 oz of the GM additive and no issues since.
In short, try it. If it chatters then put in the additive. If not then you are fine without it.
Good luck.
