      Service your differential and it will keep giving you service. Gears need fresh lubricant, it wears out over time and use.

        Comments about Valvoline High-Performance 80W-90 Gear Oil:

        Product was easy to use. Was used on a Silverado pickup differential maintenance. If the bottle design was changed a little to allow for the last quarter amount to be added, it would help in the installation. But overall, it was a breeze.

              It does what it's supposed to. And with the additive (NOT the Tim Leary stuff... Limited Slip Differential Additive) already in it, it saves you a few bucks.

However, I would suggest you to refer your vehicle owner's manual and use the exact gear oil recommended in it in order to avoid intermittence.

                  The K & W Chemical Trans-X Posi-Trac Limited Slip Gear Oil Additive - part# 402508 should work fine for your application as it is designed to help quiet chattering differentials and improve gear oil performance. It can be used with conventional GL-5 or synthetic gear oils.

                  Depending on what vehicle you have, I recommend using the weight of gear oil that the manufacturer recommends.

                • A:

                  Disregard the answer from Mike, the way to find out if it will work in a posi-trac system is to read the bottle and see if it has the additive for limited slip differentials, it is also a good idea to find out what kind of limited slip your vehicle has as some require their own type of special fluid or no special fluid whatsoever.
