Default Dextral LS??

Anyone hear of this new rear diff additive? Read a blurb about it in a magazine. Curious as to the details.

I've never heard of "Dextral".....could you have misspelled Dexron
?

As of January 2008, the oil specified for use in the Corvette differential is Dexron LS Gear Oil 75W-90, part #88862624 (#88862625 in Canada). No additive is required or recommended – just add straight Dexron LS 75W-90 only.

That was my first thought. But that is exactly how it was spelled. I read so many car mags, I m not sure what mag it was...I THINK it was Corvette Fever. I'll see if I could find the article.
