I have a slip differential that requires the additive. My question is how much of the additive do I put in the rear differential before I add the gear oil?

Hi,

Do you know if it is a G80 limited slip? My manual indicates additives are not to be used. Take a look at the attachment below.

Let me know if this is what you have. Everything that is a limited-slip locking axle is saying the same thing as below.

Take care,

Joe
