What aftermarket gear oil can you use in a G80?
that meets the GM standard?
thanks
specifically the Royal Purple Stuff:
My vehicle has a locking differential. Do I need to add additional friction modifiers when using your Max-GearŽ?
No. All viscosities of Max-GearŽ are formulated with hypoid friction modifiers necessary for use in clutch or cone type differentials. No additional additives are necessary.
advises?

There was a little note card in my Eaton Posi that suggested I use GM lubricant as well as a GM friction modifier. I stuck with thier recommendations.

GM specifies synthetic for the G80 without any additive needed. So royal purple should be fine.
When I put in my Auburn, they were very specific about NOT using synthetic but good old dino with additive on theirs........

You can use the Max Gear in any differential no matter who makes it.
Auburn along with others state not to use a synthetic but none of them can tell you why.
Fact is none of them have tested Max Gear but we have and Max Gear works in all of them.
