Default Rear diff fluid.

I want to get some Redline diff fluid and found that they have the 75W90 and a 75W90NS.. Are we supposed to use the NS?

75W90 NS

This GL-5-type geal oil doesn't contain the friction modifiers for limited-slip hypoid differentials. This makes the transmission synchronizers come to equal speeds more quickly, allowing faster shifting and much easier low-temperature shifting. Can also be used in racing limited-slip differentials where weak spring design causes too much wheel spin.

Why use redline when theres LE 607? BTW IIRC, NS stands for non slip.

I saw this on rick's site and it says that you may need additives for limited slip diffs. Any truth to this???
