"DIFFERENTIAL FRICTION MODIFIER & BREAK-IN ADDITIVE
is a friction modifier designed to reduce limited-slip noise and to aid the
proper break-in of any differential. This can be added to any gear oil to
reduce temperature during break-in and prevent gear softening. Replaces
manufacturers' limited-slip additives. Can be used to perfectly tune a
limited-slip unit. Red Line 75W90 and 80W140 Gear Oils already contain this
additive."

On the back of my bottles of 75W90, it says that the additive already mixed
in is sufficient for "almost all" applications.

By the way, does anyone with a 2000+ FSM (or just a lot of knowledge) know
what the fluid capacity is on the 205mm diff?
