Ok so thats out of the question now.

Its just a welded diff,I just wanted to put something in it to help it out some.Im going to take it on a long trip to Orlando,the longest since I have owned the car..

What about that Lucus stuff from Advance,is it garbage?

Go RoyalPurple, you cant go wrong with them.
Automotive Engineering on Ulmerton Road sells them, so does Napa on Florida Ave. in Tampa.
