Default rear diff fluid service 2000 c5

I am seeing that the fluid of choice for my 2000 corvette 6 speed convertible rear diff is Mobile one 75/90 with limited slip modifier. The manual says to add modifier, is what's in the Mobile one enough or do I need the 4 oz modifier as well?

I believe at the time the manual was written they were not including the modifier in the recommended gear oil. Now we have gear oil that does include the modifier so no need to add any. I use the same Mobil 1 gear oil you are referencing without adding anything else and have had no problems.

if it doesn't work out it's easy to change again.
