This comes directly from the manufacturer of your stock differentials website:
2.) What kind of oil should be used with an Auburn differential?
It is important when installing Auburn differentials that a high quality, non-synthetic 80w90 GL-5 oil, treated with GM or Ford limited-slip additive (also known as friction modifier) be used. Three ounces of additive will treat one quart of oil.

Zexel recommends no or 1/4-1/2 bottle friction modifier to keep the rear from chattering on turns. That rear end is all gears, no springs or clutches to wear out. I love it.

i do use and believe in synthetic for my race car but we're talking about a field of cars (the top 20) that are all well within a few tenths of each other. we've found the synth is worth a little in this case but probably not for a street car.
