Amsoil gear oil
Any amsoil experts out there??
I want to change the gear oil in my 2001 C5 rear end and refill with Amsoil 75/90 synthetic but I cant get the Amsoil Slip lock additive over here in Europe.
Can I use the usual GM LSD additive instead? I can get that easily enough over here

AMSOIL does not recommend using any other brand of supplement other than their own - you probably can take that with a grain of salt, but something you should be aware of.
AMSOIL states that the Severe Gear 75W90 is compatible with most limited slip differentials (with no additive). I used the same AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W90 with no additive in my '97 diff with no issues. Only if you experience chatter do they suggest using their additive.

"Over here" is England UK Europe , whatever we are called these days.. I can get all the Amsoil products but the dealer has run out of the Diff Additive so need that to complete the job in case the rear end starts to chatter!
Hope someone can chime in here and send me a bottle.. I will try racer66.. thanks Robert!

Also a bit of a cow son when overtaking.
Guess I will just have to put up with it. I just so like it when a Euro Lambo goes by and everyone looks at my red Z.. nice!
