Default Eaton TrueTrac Oil, What are you guys running?

Hi, I am going to be getting a TrueTrac in my Camaro, What oil do you guys recommend? I run Amsoil 75-90 now and have plenty on the shelf, I am getting mixed answer when searching.
I run Torco RGO 85-140 In my Ram truck that has a TrueTrac in it.
Should I run the Torco 80-90 In the Camaro?

Torco 80-90?
Lucas 80-90
Amsoil75-90?
Redline 75-90 NS ( Synthetic with out friction Modifier)

( This is for my 2014 2 SS Camaro )

Thanks

80-90 or the 75-90 will be fine. Don't need friction modifier, as there are no clutches. Brand is up to you.

How many folks here do you think drive Camaro's?

Isn't the Amsoil, and Redline stuff both Synthetic?

Well I figured since I am running a TrueTrac which was first recommended to me by the Dodge guys for my truck that I would ask here as well since the unit is the same, I wanted to see the thoughts of the guys here that are running them as I am also talking about my Ram Truck. Yes they both are but the Redline doesn't have LSD Additive which I think is the real concern.

The only time the LSD additive becomes an issue is, when you need it, and it isn't there. Having it in there won't hurt anything. I regularly run the stuff in all manner of rear ends, (front ends too....) and never had a problem.

Does Eaton have a recommendation for what fluid/weight they want ya to use?

They Recommend a Non Syn 80-90 and no LSD additive at all. They stated the Additive makes it to slippery and it does not function properly, They stated they would prefer no SYN but that some brands may work okay.

I would go with what they recommend then..... Though why the additive would prevent it from working properly doesn't make any sense to me........ But, I'm not an engineer either.

Don't use synthetic regular 80w90 gear oil would be fine, brand doesn't matter.
