If your rear diff is stock +1

Otherwise:

EVOLUTION

96-07 EVO: Mitsubishi recommends that the rear axle that is found in the EVOLUTION be filled with their factory oil, Diaqueen LSD Gear Oil part# 3775610 or a high quality GL-5 or higher 90w Hypoid LSD gear oil. These oils contain a friction modifier that will reduce noise associated with friction disc type limited slips.

REDLINE 80W-140 GL-5 GEAR OIL We highly recommend using Redline 80W140 GL-5 Gear Oil. Their part number is # 58104. For road racing applications, use Redline 80w-140.

* If you are wanting to increase the lock-up of the limited slip differential you will want to use Redline 80w-140 NS. This oil will increase lock-up but it does not contain the friction modifiers that reduce noise.

REDLINE SHOCKPROOF HEAVY If the vehicle is going to be drag raced Redline Shockproof Heavy is an excellent oil for the rear axle but outside temps should be 45*F or warmer because the oil is not thin enough for cold weather use.

just go to any GM dealer get a bottle of their Limited Slip Diff fluid and put in a 1/2 bottle. You're using the good stuff just finish the job.

Actually I got some of the Redline friction modifier and it worked immediately. Problem solved. Im surprised such a small bottle did so well.

GM Limited Slip Diff fluid also works immediately, it's cheap, and it's in stack at just about any GM dealer.
