I wouldn't put Dodge gear oil in it. You should put synthetic oil in it. I use Amsoil, but you can make your own choice. With Amsoil, if you even need any LS friction modifier, Amsoil has that too, and it smells better than the Dino version. Be frugal about adding it, whatever you decide, because you can put too much in there and make the LS work less efficiently.

Ditto here. Mobil is the stuff and I didn't need any LSD additive, although when I changed mine it seemed people were using whatever the local parts store had.

The Dodge L/S additive is the best IMHO, I have worked for a Jeep/ Chry dealer for 12 years. The new stuff isn't very stinky, the old stuff was the best for practial jokes.
I run 75w-140 syn and 1 additive in the rear of mine, takes care of the shudder.

I put Royal Purple 75w-90 in mine. I did figure-8's and it didn't chatter. So I didn't add any friction modifier, but I got a bottle from the Dodge dealer just in case.
