If you are wondering about if you have the factory G80, then you are supposed to use regular diff fluid anyway. Check the glove box sticker, look for all of the 3 letter / digit codes. If you find one with G80, you have it. If you do, use only regular diff fluid, as the G80 is a mechanical locker, and does not require any traction modifiers.

Like Tho said check the glove box sticker and post any code you have that starts with a 'G' on here and we can tell you exactly what gearing you have (or at least what came factory).
