V6 Auto Rear Diff Oil

So I see the V8 guys have a long running thread on this, but couldn't find anything for us lowly V6 guys

GM Part #88863089 but looks like its a standard 75W-90, anyone running MB1 or Amsoil 75W-90?

I'm fully aware it's probably not needed but it's very cheap insurance and it's something I've always done.

I would honestly stick with the AC/Delco (GM) stuff. Those diffs seem to be pretty finicky when it comes to brand of fluid.

Shouldn't be a problem it.

Been running Quantum Blue lubricants in my cars since 2007.

244k+ on the charger, 100k+ on the 2013 camaro, and 15k so far on the 2016 camaro...only had it 5 months.

As long as ya use a quality lube, and dexos quality when needed. You'll be good. I kinda fall out of the " run stock stuff", which is MORE THAN FINE. But that being said, some of us use our cars differently and different brands, as long as of quality, will get the job done as well
