Quick ask about diff fluid

Wrong section to ask this, but you guys here are prompt and accurate. '23 SS 1LE 6 speed. Looking to change fluid this weekend, what differential oil are you guys using? Had the factory stuff changed at 600 miles, now pushing 11k on the clock. You guys sticking with the AC Delco stuff or upping your game with other brands?

+1 on the Royal Purple mostly because I was trying it in the gear box but eventually went back to OE there. Still got RP in diff, just don't change that as often.

I went with Redline 75W90 GL-5 gear oil. I have used it on many cars including previous Camaro and vette. It is compatible with OEM 88862624.

Had the "groan" noise, with original fluid, swapped diff fluid at that time less then 4k miles with another brand. Still had groan. Took to dealer once I saw it was issue and they put new recommended OEM fluid in. No more groan.

For this anyways I only use OEM diff fluid.

The OP has an E-Diff not a limited slip, your's does require the limited slip additive, he can use either.

As said, Redline, AMSOIL, M1, Royal Purple or what have you full synthetic for the win, and a lot less sulfur smell.
