Rear diff

I thought if you develop the dreaded groan in rear diff, they replace the gear oil with a special gear oil. Does anybody know what the number of the gear oil is?

THANKS

Quick search shows TSB #17-NA-287

From my understanding, they use the factory defined fluid from the owners manual. So it's just a drain and refill I guess?

Manual shows "Rear Differential Fluid 75W-90 Limited Slip (GM Part No. 88900401) Add Limited Slip Additive GM Part No. (88900330)"

Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil is what I use and no groan.
