Rear diff fluid change

Hi guys I need to change my fluid in my diffs and I am wondering what synthetic to use. Also I know that I have limited slip in the read. do I have to get a friction modifier and if so do I have to buy it at the dealer? thanks guys.

No friction modifier needed.

I just changed over to Royal Purple 75w-140. Very happy so far.

I used the DC stuff until the ring and pinion went south a while back. Been using Redline 75W140 with the new gears. I used friction modifier until the first change for break in purposes.

Like the trans, I use Redline in my truck and my cars too for that matter (although not the same Redline.... ) and always keep lots in stock.
