I would not screw around with this rear end, get the OEM oil, you'll need at least two quarts.

Oil - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pump - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

There is no issue to use any high quality synthetic gear lubricant that is up to spec with its weight (75W90 in our case) and that includes a Limited Slip (LS) additive in its formula.

High Quality examples, apart from "AC-Delco" branded (which is BtW manufactured by Petro-Canada):

Would be:

The OP's finding
Mobil

Valvoline

Motul

Castrol

====================================
*Maybe a point to bear in mind, that if you intend to perform the fluid change as part of the official maintenance schedule (I believe due for the Diff at 45K or 60K Miles? I dont remember..), then in order to keep your warranty in tact, you must prove that you used the AC Delco / GM branded material.
Anything earlier than this millage/official schedule, just use any of the above without mentioning the change to anyone (I.E. Dealership, Etc.) and you shall be 100% fine.
