Red Line Oils

I am ready to change my differential oil and was thinking of replacing it with 75w90 redline gear oil wich already has the limited slip adtitive. The original gear lube is 80w90. Is redline a good substitue? Is the redline oil a thinner weight?

I used the 75-90 in my diff fluid change with no problems, but I still added the GM additive.

If the redline oil already has the addative in there is adding the gm addative going to be to much?

I initially didn't add any additive, but my car 'cried' when I went around a corner. I added a little redline additive and the rear end was quiet again.

I'm using the Red line Heavy Shockproof oil with a bottle of Red Line friction modifier.

In fact I'm running Red Line for all my fluids. 10W30 for the motor and MTL in the ZF trans and Water Wetter with Zerex coolant in the cooling system.
