I believe my 1996 ss has a torsen? Best gear oil to use?

[96.Z28.SS]

Just like he title says. I believe the original owner told me that the rear is a torsen? Is that correct? And what rear gear oil is best? I believe the owners manual says 75w-90? Iv heard not to use royal purple

The 4th Gen FAQ indicates that the Torsen diff was optional. Do you still have the SLP content label on the car?

If you have a Torsen, this is the Torsen factory page:

8. What should I use for lubrication?

A GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required by Torsen Type 1 units. This oil provides high-pressure additives needed to prevent the oil from breaking down under the extreme conditions generated by the tooth mesh. A 75W-90 is recommended, but higher or lower viscosities can be used if they meet GL-4 or GL-5 specification. Either synthetic or conventional oils can be used as well.

I'll look into it. I know I have the slp label on the door and under hood. Never really read it.
Thank you though. Very Helpful

Do you recommend synthetic injuneer?
