GM Limited slip additive

Do I have to go to the dealer to get the rear end additive or can I get some additive from a local parts store when changing the rear end fluid?

Re: GM Limited slip additive

Local part stores usually have limited slip additive... It might not be GM, but it works...

I believe NAPA carries actual GM additive.

I got mine from Autobone. It should say on the tube that it is equivalent to GM additive.

Re: GM Limited slip additive

Just curious, but is there a reason you don't want the GM additive?

Is there a better additive out there, or is it the cost? I mean, I think it's only ~$7 CDN$ a bottle, and you only need 1 bottle, right?

No I was just wondering if I would have to go to the dealership or not to get it. It's kinda a pain to deal with the guys at dealerships and wanted to avoid it.

Re: GM Limited slip additive

The GM additive will work, while other brands may not. Don't know why this is so, but it sure is a hassle to have to go back to put in the GM stuff when the other does not work. I just buy the GM stuff the first time.
