The G80 uses Any 75W90 oil with no Additives. A LS diff has to have the additive in it for the clutch packs to function properly. The G80 is a Mechanically Locking Differential that engages when one wheels spins at a certain RPM mechanically locking the differential together.
Does G80 need friction modifier?
Trucks use a G80 Locking differential, not a limited slip. Important: Installing any friction modifier causes the clutch pack in the locking differential to slip and miss engagement. A fluid flush can often remove debris that is a contributor to clutch chatter.
Is G80 a locker or limited slip?
The Eaton (eaton.com) G80, also known as the Gov-Loc is a true automatic locker, not a limited-slip differential. It has been an available option on GM trucks for decades. The unit automatically engages when the speed difference between the two tires on the same axle reaches 100 rpm.
