Bought a little 4oz. bottle of Mopar sure-grip additive. Was going to buy some redline 75w-90. Lucas or royal purple75w-90. My question is should I use synthetic. Will it work with the mopar additive or not. Or do I find a non synthetic 75w-90???
I use the Redline gear oil, and have not needed to add any additive.

LIMITED-SLIP COMPATIBILITY
Red Line Gear Oils, with the exception of the
75W90NS, and 75W140NS, already contain friction
modifier required for operation in limited-slip differentials.
Additional additive is not usually required, but
newer units or those with more lockup capability may
require 1-4% additional Red Line Limited-Slip Friction
Modifier. If Red Line is not available, the manufacturers
recommended friciton modifier is compatible. Do not
add addtional modifier unless necessary, as too much
will result in excessive wheel spin. To perfectly tune a
differential, start with the 75W90 NS or 75W140 NS and
add the Red Line Limited-Slip Friciton Modifier until the
limited-slip chattering just disappears.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
75W90 Gear Oil - the preferred product in nearly all car
and light truck differentials, both conventional and limited-slip.
75W90 is preferred for most racing applications.
It contains friction modifier which is recommended for
limited-slip units.
75W90 NS, 75W140NS <-- The "NS" oil does not have the friction modifier.
